If you are driving to the show, you MUST buy your parking tickets in advance - any cars without advance car parking tickets will not be able to park on site and will be turned away.

On site parking is available for 6,000+ cars across the weekend each day (you can see why traffic might be busy as a result!) - they can be booked here. Limited overnight parking will be available for purchasers of 2 and 4-day tickets.

The show's opening times are Thursday 23rd - Saturday 25th: 7am - 8pm and Sunday 26th: 7am - 6pm.

Glasgow Road is currently facing a citybound lane closure, midway between the Edinburgh Airport on-slip and RBS Bridge as Scottish Water works to repair a burst pipe - the closure is expected until EOD June 9.
