Check if you're eligible for a railcard or coachcard. There are more options than most people know!

‍Book in advance – cheaper fares are often available the further ahead you book and it’s easy to do for a festival ‘cause you already know the earliest you can arrive and latest you can leave. Train tickets can be booked up to three months in advance.

‍Try splitting your ticket (eg with Trainsplit). This can often give you a cheaper fare. For example, a return ticket from London to Chepstow is cut from £75 to £39 using a railcard and Trainsplit.
‍
‍Try Megabus for cheap coach tickets. For example, on our 2022 search we found tickets available for under £12 each way from London Victoria to Bristol. Then it’s a short hop from Bristol to Chepstow.

And then there's Megatrain!
