Access to ESFF Venues
The majority of our venues are very accessible through public transport or walkable. Our volunteer team is financially encouraged to travel within the festival using public transport, and we accompany our guests to venues using majority public transport or electric taxis.
We request that you seriously consider using public transport, car sharing, or travel on foot or bike where possible, over any private transport.
