This year Winchester will host the second Sanctuary festival, with outdoor stage, multiple big top arenas and 2 days of camping. One of the country's biggest dance music events, acts will include LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad, DJ Hype, Andy C & MC GQ, Darren Styles & MC Storm, and Alex Kidd.
The festival itself is set in the naturally formed Matterley Bowl, which means almost no sound leaks away from the site - so they can get the volume turned up LOUD!
We are running special festival buses, non-stop to and from the Festival from Winchester city centre.
On Friday 8 August, buses will run every 30 minutes between 1400 and 2200 from the two bus stops at the front of Winchester Train Station, non-stop to The Matterley Bowl.
On Saturday 9 August, buses will run every 30 minutes between 1100 and 2300 from Andover Road Car Park to the north of the rail station, non-stop to The Matterley Bowl.
Buses will run from The Matterley Bowl back to Winchester Rail Station from 0530 until 1200.
Our special return ticket for the duration of the festival is valid from Friday 8 August until Sunday 10 August.

Remember to keep your ticket for your homeward bound journey. If you have not got a £5 return ticket, it will cost £1 per person to get back to Winchester.
