How do I get there?
That depends on where you are coming from, but rail and car are likely to be the most sensible options. If you have no idea where Machynlleth is, have a look here.
Where can I park? Maengwyn Street Car Park is the pay and display car park in the centre of town (follow directions to the Rugby Club).
If you are bringing a vehicle and want to park in the campsite field (accessed via Llynlloedd Lane) then spaces are available for £5 per day / £15 for the weekend.
You can buy a ticket in advance via the campsite section of the website or pay in cash on arrival.
Are there Electric Vehicle charging points in Mach?
There are charging points for 8 vehicles on Mae ngwyn Street Car Park.
As a small town in a rural location, there is limited capacity to offer electrical vehicle charging in town with such a large influx of people at the same time.
If you are traveling to the Festival in an electric or hybrid vehicle, it is important to make sure you have sufficient battery charge for your journey and advisable to recharge as fully as possible before getting to town where demand is likely to be much greater.
You can use a mapping service such as zap-map. com to find charging points on your journey.
