The venue for Radio 1’s Big Weekend is Burton Constable Hall, approximately 10 miles from Hull. Because of the relatively remote location of the site and the nature of roads in the local area, traffic restrictions will be in place and ticket holders will need to use the official event Shuttle Bus or Park & Ride service to get to and from the site.
Please do not try and drive to the event – there will be no public car parking available on site or in the local area, except that arranged in advance by Blue Badge holders (please see our Disabled Access Information page for full details.)
In addition, some roads in the local area will be closed, or have restricted access, meaning it is not possible for people to be dropped off close to the site, or collected from it, unless they are in a licensed taxi or private hire vehicle.
Finally, please note there is no safe walking or cycling route to and from the site.
Please take a few minutes to read the information below and then purchase your bus tickets. Shuttle Bus / Park & Ride booking has been extended until 5pm on Thursday 25th May 2017. Tickets purchased from 18th May onwards will be issued as digital print@home tickets only. You can either print out your print@home tickets or present them on a functioning mobile device.

Can I drive to the event and park there?
No. To try and minimise congestion only official buses and taxis will be allowed to access roads in the local area. There will be no car parking on site and traffic management restrictions will be in place. Please note, if you breach these, your vehicle may be towed away.
Can I drop ticketholders off at Burton Constable and pick them up again afterwards?
No. Again, to try and minimise congestion, there will be no drop off or pick up facilities at Burton Constable Hall itself. Drop off and pick up facilities will be available at the KCOM Stadium, which is a short walk from the Walton Street Shuttle service.
Can I walk or cycle to the event?
No. For safety reasons it will not be possible to walk or cycle to the event site.
Will there be special arrangements in place for Blue Badge holders?
Yes. A limited number of Blue Badge spaces will be made available on site; however they will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and must be booked in advance. For more information please see the Disabled Access Information page.
