If this is your first time at EjectorSeat Arts Festival, there's a lot to look forward to and do: other than the Band Stand, try the Film Tent or Theatre Area, there is also music and culinary delights on display in the Art House Tent, or browse the Arts Market for local arts and crafts and our free workshops. There will also be plenty of "artistic surprises" in the Gardens, so remember to keep an eye out!

Other things to remember
1. There will be a festival programme for sale, with site plan and a lot of other useful information.
2. Timings of bands/stages will also be available on our website nearer the time of the festival and in the programme.
3. There are lots of changes to the site this year, so take your time and familarise yourselves with the new areas.
4. Don't leave valuables unattended.

Things You CAN'T DO!

3. Make open fires or barbecues.


Directions and Travel Information
The festival is held in Palmerston Park in Southampton city centre. There is plenty of parking availing in and around the city centre and we have provided a Google maps link below to help you find them. Disability and Accessibility
The EjectorSeat Arts Festival is set in Palmerston Park in Southampton. The EjectorSeat Arts Festival is a small festival, the stages and stalls are positioned relatively close to one another. Wheelchairs can access all areas of the festival in good weather, however most of the ground is grass and can be uneven in places. If it rains, manoeuvring a wheelchair around the site may be difficult due to mud.
