Oyster Festival Weekend Park and Ride

During the Festival, parking spaces and car parks in Whitstable fill up very quickly, and stay full right through to the evening.  For this reason, a Park and Ride service will be available for the opening weekend of the Oyster Festival (Saturday 24 July and Sunday 25 July) between 10am and 9pm.

The Festival Park & Ride will run to and from the KM car park at Estuary View Business Park, close to Longreach roundabout (see directions below). Buses will run approximately every 15 minutes and will stop to pick up and set down passengers at the Horsebridge Centre. During the period of the High Street road closure on Saturday 24 July, buses will be diverted and drivers will inform passengers of any temporary pick up points on the day.

Cost:  Adults £1, children 50p, under-fives free.  No concessions or foot passengers.
