It’s easy to get to us. Metropolitan is located just outside Watford, within half a mile of the M1 (Junction 5) and the A41, and the M25 is only 3 miles away, you can pre-book parking for £5 (includes blue badge holders).

To get to us by train, we’re just over a mile away from Bushey train station, which has excellent transport links to Central London and Watford.

You can find information here on how to reach us by car, train, bus, bike, or walk if you live nearby.

No drinks, alcohol, food or snacks are permitted to be brought onto the Metropolitan Bushey site. This is a venue policy 365 days a year, and fairly standard for music festivals. You may bring an empty bottle to fill at our water fountains.

We have fantastic food vendors who cater to most dietary needs and sell hot and cold drinks, including bottled water. Monty’s Bar will also be selling snacks.

Our security team will be conducting full bag searches at the gate. To help speed up the queues, we ask that you do not bring large bags unless necessary.

Anyone with a medical condition that requires them to bring food items, a snack and/or a drink into the event should contact management in advance via info@metropolitanbushey.co.uk to obtain an authorisation letter.

You will be able to gain re-admission if you leave the venue. Please speak to our team at the main entrance for details on the day.

All our bars, vendors and the gate take cash and card payments.
