Music Season, Travel Sorted

As the days get longer and the line-ups get louder, festival season returns and with it, the excitement of live music, shared moments and unforgettable weekends. From Glastonbury and Creamfields to gigs at the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester and M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, the summer calendar is packed. However while the tickets are hard to get, the hardest part for many festivalgoers is getting there and back safely, comfortably and without stress.

That’s where Pelorus Chauffeurs step in, offering a luxury, reliable and secure alternative to crowded trains, unpredictable taxis and long car park queues.

The Challenges of Festival Travel

For major festivals, transport can be one of the biggest headaches. Train strikes, cancelled services, overloaded car parks and long walks with luggage are common frustrations. Late-night returns and alcohol consumption make self-driving risky, while pre-booked taxis often disappear when you need them most.

Even the most seasoned festival fans know that getting in and out of large venues, particularly in rural locations like Glastonbury, can take hours. With a chauffeur, those worries disappear. Your driver plans the route, monitors traffic and waits nearby for your safe return home.

Glastonbury and Beyond: Real Travel Times and Experience

A journey from Liverpool to Glastonbury Festival typically takes around five to six hours, depending on departure time and routes via the M6 and M5. From Manchester, it’s about four and a half to five hours. Pelorus chauffeurs regularly handle such long-distance travel, ensuring comfort with spacious, climate-controlled vehicles, refreshments and scheduled breaks as needed.

For festival-goers heading to Creamfields, located near Daresbury in Cheshire, travel from Liverpool takes roughly 40 minutes, while from Manchester it’s about 50 minutes. These short yet congested journeys are best handled by professionals who understand the local traffic patterns and event entry systems.

City Concerts and Arena Travel

It’s not just fields and tents. Festival season also brings huge demand for concerts and arena shows. With international tours returning to the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester and the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, evenings often end late, with limited train services and high taxi surcharges.

A Pelorus chauffeur ensures you and your group travel safely, arrive on time, and return home comfortably. No waiting in taxi queues, no surge pricing and no navigating car parks after midnight.

Safe, Reliable and Cost-Effective

For many, chauffeur travel might sound extravagant, but the value lies in peace of mind. A single return journey for a group of friends to Creamfields or an arena event often costs little more than multiple taxis, yet offers infinitely more safety, comfort and certainty.

With licensed, enhanced DBS-checked drivers, you can enjoy your event knowing your transport is secure, your driver is waiting, and your journey home is already taken care of.

Typical Festival Journey Costs

While each trip depends on location, duration and vehicle type, prices typically begin at:

• Liverpool or Manchester to Creamfields – from around £110 + VAT
• Liverpool or Manchester to Leeds Festival – from £250 + VAT
• Liverpool to Glastonbury (long-distance hire) – from £650 + VAT each way

For groups, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class provides ample space for luggage, tents and supplies, while the S-Class offers refined luxury for smaller parties. Larger groups can book multiple vehicles or bespoke packages for multi-day events.

The Safety Factor

Perhaps the most important reason to book a chauffeur for festivals or concerts is safety. Festivals are about fun, freedom and shared experiences. However alcohol, fatigue and long hours can make the return journey hazardous. Pelorus ensures that every passenger gets home safely, no matter the hour.

For parents with teenagers attending festivals, or companies organising corporate hospitality at large events, that peace of mind is invaluable.

Flexibility for the Unexpected

Anyone who’s been to a major festival knows that schedules can change. Headliners run late, weather delays exits and plans shift in the moment. Pelorus chauffeurs are trained to adapt. They’ll wait as long as needed, communicate directly via phone or text and adjust collection times to suit real-world conditions. All part of the service.
