FAQ's

The Chatty Cafe will be open from 12-4 for lunch and drinks and other tasty snacks. There are also 3 pubs (!!) in the village, The Ettrick, The Twisted Thistle and The Glen Lusset. All are great and serve food and drink throughout the day.
Are there public toilets in the village?
The Napier Hall will have public toilets open all day. There are also toilets in the Church Hall. Both are accessible, but unfortunately neither have a changing places facility.
Where can I park?
There are several places to park in the village that are free. Most of these are on or just off main roads and are not strictly car parks- there is no designated festival parkingmight want to consider taking public transport if that is possible.

Once you arrive at Old Kilpatrick station, you will leave the station onto station road. As you walk down station road you will eventually come to Dumbarton Rd. If you take a right here, you will be approximately 100 yards from the centre of Old Kilpatrick and The Napier Hall, our festival Hub.
This walk takes approximately 10 minutes.
By Bus
The bus stops on Dumbarton Road at many points near throughout Old Kilpatrick regardless of which direction you are travelling from.

It’s a beautiful cycle from either direction, and on a sunny day is worth the effort! It takes about 1 hour from the centre of Glasgow, but cycling speeds vary!
