They will, no worries!
Every decent, self respecting big festival, will publish its map a few days before it all starts. (give or take a few weeks of course ), so people can have some kind of orientation. HF did the same last year.
hey all
couple of us going to hellfest for first time from the Orkney and Shetland islands. were using argon travel and cause we getting old haha (35-40 ) we opted for the hotel / coach package . any you guys had any dealing or used them , any points to watch for ?
we decided that hellfest looked so much better than our usual pilgrimage to download and i am pumped for it already . can’t wait to get down with the sickness ] a disturbed one ]
Hi mate,
do you already know in which hotel you’ll stay and what is the distance to festival site? It’s difficult to answer you unless you have detailed information.
I’m glad you come to Hellfest, you’re going to have a hell of a week-end!
hey mate , staying in the ibis in Nantes , argon said theres a transfer to the venue and back , just wondering what the digs n travel like . never been so just doing bit of recon. and wheres the nearest bar ! lol . cheers
There’s a shuttle service, between the festival and Nantes. You can check the official Q&A here: [url=http://www.hellfest.fr/en/infospratique/faq/]http://www.hellfest.fr/en/infospratique/faq/
If I can remember what written past years, the shuttle service is run by a company nammed Ambulance Douillard and you have to pay something like 2 to 5€ to use it. Or you can wait for the carpooling topic, which will be on line around March probably.
More informations will be added in thext months, so check it on regular basis.
Nearest bar from what, your hotel? If you’re in the center of Nantes, you won’t have to go far to find one, don’t worry ]
Sorry Pierre, I think you’re wrong here.
It’s €2 for the transfer Clisson STATION - Hellfest by (Ambulance) Douillard. (per trip) (and/or in the zone Clisson)
If I’m correct, Douillard may offer a service NANTES - HF, but it’ll be more like €10/trip, and a reservation is to be made in advance. (read the FAQ at that time)
And it’s the latter which has some kind of a bad sound, as I saw some who had bad expericences with that shuttle!
But (during daytime) SNCF offers a reduced ticket Loire-Atlantique (any station within the region) - Clisson. From Clisson, the shuttles are wating at the station.
Well, the shuttle Clisson station - HF was quite OK. Especially on Thursday & Monday, I had no probs whatsoever. I happened to see a shuttle to Nantes (airport?) as well, but that was with reservation. (and it didn’t go to Nantes station either, as far as I knew)
So… either carpooling, or the train and shuttle CLISSON-HF.
See my earlier comments in this thread regarding the Shuttle bus to Nantes. It only goes to and from the airport I believe, not into the centre of Nantes but maybe you can ask to clarify. We were staying near the airport and it was based there every day. Yes, it is not £2, last year we paid 10euros each to go in, and 15euros each to come back in the evening. It must be pre-booked not that doing that did us much good. Really would avoid if possible. Being in Nantes you are about 30-40km away from the festival so a distance away.
There is a great rock bar with live bands in Nantes to spend Thursday evening Le Fereullier (or something like that). great atmosphere but a bit hard to find.
