Conwy Town
A level 2 minute walk will take you into the beautiful walled town, the fabulous medieval Conwy Castle and nearby, the Conwy Estuary Harbour and Quay.
Conwy is well provided with Car Parks all within a minute's walk of Conwy Tourist Information Centre.
You don't need to bring much in the way of food/supplies as everything is available in the town centre.
You can often spend an odd few minutes meandering around our historic and beautiful town without ever being more than minutes from the Festival Site.
BUS
In 2005 we introduced and inter-site bus service. This can drop you almost anywhere in the town, and starting in 2007, it will do a "shower run" to the Leisure Centre a couple of times a day.
The 19th International Bluegrass Music and Dance Festival
Conwy, North Wales 2007:
The main Festival Site - Bodlondeb Park
The Festival camp site is flat, level grass surrounded with trees on the ground of Conwy Cricket Club. It has flush toilets and there is a 24 hour medical facility. Bar and Hot Food available. Security patrols throughout the hours of darkness - a nice safe site for all the family. RADAR Toilets for people with disabilities are on site.
Showers are not available on site, but we have an arrangement with the local
Llandudno Junction Leisure Centre that festival goers can use the showers there for a reduced rate, and the inter-site bus will do a "shower run" a couple of times a day.
