NON-FESTIVAL DRIVER INFORMATION

If you need to access the A1(M) and want to avoid the festival traffic, from Wednesday 25th August to Sunday 29th August, then we would suggest travelling to Tenter Hill, turning left and travelling North on West Woods Road to access the A1(M) at Wattle Syke.

During the morning of Monday 30th August, the best route to the A1(M) to avoid festival traffic would be to travel to Tenter Hill, turn right onto Bramham Bypass / Paradise Way and Spen Common Lane to access the A1(M) at the Bramham Interchange.

Using these routes will mean that you are travelling in the opposite direction to the vast majority of festival traffic.
