Boardmasters Festival traffic plan announced for August 5‑9 in Newquay, UK
Boardmasters organizers have issued a traffic management plan for the festival scheduled from Wednesday 5 August to Sunday 9 August. The plan, developed with Cornwall Council Highways, National Highways, Devon and Cornwall Police and local transport providers, introduces a one‑way system around the festival site and soft road closures to keep traffic flowing during peak arrival and departure periods.
Key road restrictions include a ban on left‑turns from Priory Road and Rialton Road onto the A3059, and closures of Alexandra Road and Watergate Road (B3276) under an Anti‑Terrorism Traffic Regulation Order for crowd safety. These closures run from 6 am to 3 am on 5 August, 10 am‑3 am on 6 August, and continue similarly through 9 August, with a possible release on 10 August depending on traffic flow. Residents and local business traffic are permitted access, with guidance from traffic marshals.
The traffic plan aims to minimise disruption to the local community while ensuring safe movement of festival‑goers to and from Newquay and surrounding areas.
