GETTING TO THE FESTIVAL

There's lots of ways to get to Tall Ships Festival this May. See here for some advice on the best (and greenest ways to get to us). It's worth noting that Tall Ships Festival is a very popular event, and parking can be difficult, so we would recommend you spend some time planning your journey so you can get to us in a comfortable way. We would recommend public transport or active travel options over taking the car, if possible.

E-SCOOTERS

Voi is the e-scooter hire service in the city. E-scooters are available for hire throughout Gloucester city centre and surrounding suburbs, with parking zones at key transport hubs like bus and rail stations.

Scooters can be unlocked via the app. First time users can get 2 x 15 minute free journeys by entering the code ‘TallShipsF24’ in the Voi app. ​​
