CAR SHARING SCHEME

Anyone participating in the car sharing scheme either by giving or receiving a lift will receive a free programme, as a small thank you from us. We can make no guarantees to succeed and we cannot take responsibility for providing this service, but we will do our utmost to  match anyone who needs a lift with a driver.

Benefits to drivers – someone to share the concert experience with and a chance to make new friends, and possibly share the fuel costs (by your own arrangement). If you have a spare seat in your car and would like to offer someone  a lift, please email us stating which concerts you are coming to, where you are travelling from and how many spare seats you have.

For lift recipients – if you don’t drive, or are reluctant to drive after dark, don’t want to come out on your own, or maybe you use public transport and need a lift to or from a station, please let us know which concerts you’d like to attend and where you need a lift from.
