Once again the Solfest shuttle bus will be shuttling between Aspatria train station and the festival site on Friday; it's free on production of your ticket. The bus will rendezvous with every train that arrives into Aspatria. This fantastic and free service will also, by popular demand, be running between Solfest site, Aspatria and Silloth on Saturday and Sunday which will allow people to get into town for any forgotten groceries/essentials etc or just to go for a walk along the seaside! It will leave and return to the main entrance of the site roughly every hour on the hour. If that wasn't enough, on Bank Holiday Monday we'll even run you back to Aspatria so you can catch a train home. Remember, once on your train, to ask someone to wake you at your stop, after the weekend you've just had you may well fall asleep!
