Slam Dunk Festival 2023: Leeds Temple Newsam pick up point postcode, shuttle bus, car parking and train

Thousands of rock music fans across Leeds and beyond are set to gather at Temple Newsam on Sunday (May 28) as Slam Dunk Festival 2023 returns for another year with an impressive line-up including punk pioneers The Offspring and Enter:Shikari.

Slam Dunk Festival is now the number one pop-punk, rock and alternative festival in the UK held over two fully outdoor sites in Hatfield Park in Hertfordshire and Temple Newsam Park in Leeds to over 50,000 rock fans.

With over 40 bands performing from midday until late at night, festival organisers have issued travel advice to attendees, whether they are driving themselves or taking public transport.

And because such a large crowd is likely to congregate over a single weekend, festival goers must ensure they know how to get there and where to park their cars to avoid delays. Here, we have compiled all the information you need to get there easily.
