Affordable

Wannasee Festival weekend is the perfect way to enjoy a live music stadium experience, non-stop hits, from start to finish, and fantastic live music at affordable prices. You can come as a day visitor or for the full weekend and camping facilities are available if you want to stay.

Parking is FREE & will be available at a secure manned area on the main site only a minute’s walk from the festival site.

A free return shuttle bus will be available on both Saturday & Sunday, picking up outside the car park at Sainsbury’s Penrith, starting before the festival opens each day and running continuously back and forth between Penrith and the festival site, until after it closes each night.

Great Views

With great views of the stage from all areas of the picturesque festival site and, with plenty of room for those who prefer to sit, rather than stand, you are welcome to bring in blankets, folding chairs, etc, if you choose. Picnic food and water or soft drinks in sealed plastic bottles for young children can be brought into the stadium.

Our team will, as always, plan a series of comprehensive safety measures to ensure that public safety and specifically Covid-19 safety is of the utmost importance.

We will fully comply with any national or regional requirements in place at the time and will react swiftly to any further changes to requirements or legislation and keep customers fully informed of this and all other steps that are taken to ensure that the safety of our customers is not compromised in any way.

We will also be ensuring that a dedicated team of trained cleaners are providing regular and thorough deep cleaning of all commonly touched items, toilets, tables, bar surfaces etc. There will be ample hand sanitiser and disinfectants available and customers will be readily encouraged to make frequent use of these facilities.

Certainly! Wannasee is a family friendly event and children of all ages are welcome. Under 5s are free but must be accompanied by a ticket holding adult and there's a Family Zone area containing a number of free kids’ attractions, rides and face painting.

Absolutely! If you’re a day visitor and don’t want to drive there, why not take advantage of our free shuttle bus to and from the festival.

A free return shuttle bus will be available on Friday, Saturday & Sunday, picking up in Penrith town centre, outside Sainsbury's car park (there will be a bus stop sign), starting before the festival opens each day and running continuously back and forth between Penrith and the festival site, until after it closes each night. They'll leave each hour, on the hour and return at approximately the half hour for a 30 minute wait at Sainsburys to load up again.

We have free secure car parks, clearly signposted, all within close walking distance of the stadium. Car parks open from 4pm on Friday and 11am on Saturday and Sunday.
