Some guests when asked did express an interest in buses to/from the venue from the Tyneside / Chester-Le-Street areas for local-ish guests for day and evening if we were able to arrange this. However, we obtained a number of quotes and due to the bank holiday it was unfortunately not feasible to arrange.

We hope guests are willing to car pool, or arrange larger taxis from similar areas. We have set up a website / app page to make this easier for guests to identify other guests planning to travel from nearby. This is the link to the car sharing app:

If you are a guest planning to drive and have space in your car, we would really appreciate it if you were able to offer those spaces to local guests. To do this, click on the link, click on “Add a Trip” and put in your details. Other guests from your area will then be able to contact you by whatsapp/text/phone on the number you’ve provided to take those spaces, and if you agree, they can be ‘allocated’ to your vehicle in the app.

If you are a guest looking for space/spaces in another guest’s car to travel to/from the venue, click on ‘Waiting List’ on the website and enter your name, email address and indicate your preferred departure location. When a car near you becomes available, you should be alerted and you should be able to contact them.

If there are more guests on the waiting list than the number of spaces in cars available when it gets to the beginning of August, sharing larger taxis may be a solution.
