COMING BY TRAIN? THE best mainline station near goatfest is STEVENAGE - with regular fast trains to London, Peterborough and Cambridge, AND A TAXI RANK OUTSIDe, WE'D SUGGEST TRAVELLING HERE INSTEAD OF welwyn or Knebworth. there will be no train service all day at Welwyn North and Knebworth on Sunday 28/08 because of engineering work between Stevenage and Alexandra Palace. so if you're getting the train to the festival it would be best to use Stevenage, particularly on Sunday 28/08. stevenage is about five miles away from the festival site. There is a taxi rank outside Stevenage station on Lytton Way and ubers are also readily available in the area.

THIS ALSO APPLIES TO THE CAMPSITE.
Q: Is Goatfest a cash-only event? AND Is there a cash machine available onsite?
A: we have no atm onsite at goatfest. although most food and craft vendors accept card, this is not guaranteed - WE ARE IN A RURAL AREA AND THE SIGNAL ISN'T ALWAYS THE BEST. SO WE WOULD ADVISE YOU BRING SOME CASH WITH YOU AS A BACK UP.
The nearest cashpoint is in Codicote village shop, Mace Stores. This is on Codicote high street - about a 10-15 minute walk from the festival. Security will allow you re-entry to the festival if you need to withdraw cash.
