About Us

Hi and welcome to our website. We hope to give you an insight into us, the service we provide and all the information you may require.

norwich2reading was initially founded in the early summer of 2005 by three friends (Alex, Henry and Danny) who were sick of having to lug all our festival gear (and beer) on and off the expensive train and half way across London on the tube! Ever tried getting a large camping rucksack through the tube doors? Not fun as we found out!

Not everyone who goes to the festival lives close or is able to own a car, have parents who are willing to drive or a big enough car to fit all the camping gear in.

2005 was our first year, we had the idea to hire a minibus and split the cost between everyone on it, which worked out quite reasonable...

In 2006 we did it with a small coach, more people sure was more fun! :)

2007 and 2008 were as much fun and we have met some interesting people on the way.

Travel Info

Picked up early Thursday morning before the festival outside 'The Waterfront' on King Street, we head down towards London, round the M25 (with a single 30mins toilet/food stop), then onto reading festival aiming to arrive about mid morning.

The coach finally stops outside the Rivermead Center (about 20m from the Red Entrance)

After the festival the coach picks up at the Rivermead Center at midday to avoid the main exit rush between 9-11am. It then runs the reverse route ending up in Norwich late afternoon.

(Please note all journey times are dependant on traffic conditions)

FAQ

Who drives?
We sure don't! We have a professional licensed and insured Driver and Coach from the coach company to do our driving.

Are there any age restrictions?
Yes, we will not be taking anybody under the age of 16 for legal reasons.

Do we get a Festival Ticket too?
Nooooo... our norwich2reading tickets are just for transport from Norwich to the festival site. They do not include anything except the travel.

How much luggage can I bring?
We don't recommend bringing anymore than you yourself can carry as you will have to walk to your campsite from the drop off point. Obviously please don't bring stupid amounts as we do have limited space.

Can I smoke on the Coach?
Nope. It's against the law. Simple as.
