Getting to the Festival

By Public Transport

TRAIN may be the best option for most people but make sure you check City Rail for track work and other activities that may effect your line.

Coming from the south or west use back carriages and from the north or east use front carriages. This will get you to the Devonshire St exit end of Central Station.

Check the TransportNSW Trip Planner for information about Train, Tram and Bus Timetables

Gaelic Club & Tom Mann Theatre – From 6:00pm

Saturday 19 Aug:

Gaelic Club & Tom Mann Theatre – From 9:15am NB: There is no Box Office at the Quakers’ Hall so you will need to drop into the Gaelic Club or Tom Mann (depending which is closer) to sort your ticket/wristband.

Gaelic Club only – from 9:30am

Tickets

While it will be possible to buy tickets at both the Gaelic Club and Tom Mann Theatre Box Offices on the day if still available it would be a huge help to our box office volunteers if you bought your ticket/s online before arriving at the festival. It will also be much faster for you to redeem your wristband than to have to go through the whole ticket purchasing process.
