Coach Departure Points

Logically, given most of our Festivals are on the European Continent, our Tour Coach routes run from the North to the South of the UK, using primarily the East and West Trunk Road systems incorporating, the M1 and M6.

Staying close to the two motorway systems in order to minimize travel time, we are still able to offer a large number of direct local departures, close to the major UK conurbations.

If your chosen departure point on any given Tour, is not on the direct route of the Tour Coach, we will arrange for a (return) connecting coach service by National Express (or the like) to the nearest convenient Tour Coach joining point. On most occasions this will be to London.

In the table below those departure points illustrated in CAPITAL LETTERS denote departure points more likely involving an actual Argon Events Tour Coach.

Those illustrated in lower case will be likely to involve a National Express (or other) connection from that point, to London where you will board an Argon Events Tour Coach.

Therefore, if you prefer to board your Tour Coach directly (without taking a connecting journey), select one of the Departures in CAPITALS.
