Did you know that for most Festivals, the largest carbon impact comes from audience travel?

This is why we were really impressed to hear that for The Festival of Discovery this weekend, organisers DOCA Devizes have collaborated with Our Wiltshire to offer visitors a free ride on the local Connecting Wiltshire bus service

The code for 2 free rides on the Wiltshire Connect bus is GO2026.

Co-benefits to getting the bus, other than reducing emissions include:
- Not worrying about parking
- Not worrying about road closures
- Reading your book / playing a game on your phone / enjoying the view on the way instead of having to pay attention to the road
- Less congestion and better air quality in town due to fewer cars
- Having a cheeky pint or 3 at the Festival bar

Essentially, it's a no brainer, if you happen to live on one of these bus routes 💚
