Tisbus for the 5th May
For those of you arriving for the Festival taster evening on the 5th May (tickets just £10, available on the door or on this very site) by train, or those of you without transport up to Ashley Wood Farm, or those of you wishing to take full advantage of the marvellous ales to be provided by Keystone Brewery, the redoubtable Tisbus will be running a shuttle service up the lane, departing from the square at 7.15 (ideally timed for the 18.47 from Salisbury), and ferrying people back from the farm to the square at 11. Hooray for Tisbus and its plucky little buses! (Sorry, just been reading Dunkirk: Fight to the Last Man by Simon Sebag Montefiore)
