Travel & Transport

The easiest way to get to Powderham — hop on the Exeter Shuttle. 

A dedicated shuttle bus will run every few minutes between Exeter City Centre and Powderham Castle.  

Return tickets cost £10, with the bus dropping you off at Powderham Castle just minutes from the festival entrance. Taking the shuttle means no worries about traffic, parking, or long walks — simply the easiest way to get to and from the event.  

Shuttle bus tickets must be purchased in advance when you buy your event ticket, or by clicking below.

Travel sustainably with like-minded music fans directly to Live at Powderham. Your carbon-neutral coach will arrive before the music starts and leave after the headliners, hassle-free.

For  TK Maxx presents Live at Powderham, there will be NO ACCESS near the event site for pick-up or drop-off by taxis or private vehicles. Instead, two dedicated Pick Up & Drop Off (PUDO) locations will be in operation: 

• Exeter Racecourse – for those travelling from the south (e.g. Newton Abbot, Torquay, Paignton, Teignmouth) 

• Winslade Manor – for those travelling from the north (e.g. Exeter, Tiverton, Barnstaple) 

Anyone using these locations must purchase a £10 per person PUDO & Bus Return ticket. Shuttle buses will run regularly between both PUDO sites and the event throughout the evening. 

Apple Taxis is the official taxi partner of Live at Powderham and will operate at both locations.  

• Taxis to the event can be pre-booked via the Apple Taxis app using the codes POWDERHAM NORTH  or  POWDERHAM SOUTH. 

• Return taxis after the event can be booked in person at either Winslade Manor or Exeter Racecourse and will be allocated in the order passengers arrive from the shuttle buses. 

Please note that due to road closures and strict clearway enforcement, taxis and private vehicles will be unable to pick up or drop off anywhere near the event site. Traffic Management teams, enforcement officers and tow vehicles will be actively patrolling the A379 and surrounding areas to ensure that no vehicles stop or wait in restricted zones, and illegally parked vehicles may be ticketed or towed. 

For those wishing to cycle to the event, there is dedicated bike parking available close to the arena. Please bring your own lock to use this facility.
