The 22nd North Wales Bluegrass Festival in Conwy · 1st - 4th July 2010
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.
FREE SITE BUS
In 2005 we introduced and inter-site bus service. This can drop you
almost anywhere in the town, and it will do a "shower run" to the
Leisure Centre a couple of times a day.
