What is lift sharing?
The idea is to meet with others who are heading in the same direction, usually in a car, and travel together. Meaning you save on fuel costs and help the environment!
In previous years many of our festival and event volunteers have arranged to share lifts via the Hotbox Events Forum ' please do try and travel together whenever possible.
How to arrange to share a lift?
If you are offering a lift post a message in this topic including:
â?¢ Where you are going
â?¢ Where you are coming from
â?¢ How many spaces you have
â?¢ When you are going
E.g. \"I am leaving Cornwall on 9th July, heading to Latitude Festival, I have two spaces in my car.\"
If you are requesting a lift post a message in this topic including:
â?¢ Where you are going
â?¢ Where you are coming from
â?¢ How many spaces you're looking for
â?¢ When you are going
E.g. \"I am leaving Cornwall on 9th July, heading to Latitude Festival with one friend.\"
If you can't find a lift from someone on the forums you could also try:
â?¢ www.liftshare.org
â?¢ www.freewheelers.co.uk
How to contact people about lift sharing?
You can contact people from the Hotbox Events forum; if you click on someone's username next to one of their posts you will be taken to the user's forum profile where you can click \"Click to send an E-Mail\".
This is a good way to work out details such as times and locations.
Please note you'll need to have posted a few times otherwise the forum won't let you send messages!
Best of luck finding your lift!

Hey I'm heading up in my vw polo from Ipswich via a14 and a1 so if your on the route I can take 3 people. One bag per person plus tent or you could share with me as I'm taking a 6 man tent with me. All I'm asking for is 20 to cover my fuel.
Hopefully it will be an amazing weekend and make some new friends [:)]

Hi guys!
I live in London and I'm volunteering at Latitude Festival.
I'd love to grab a lift with someone if anyone has a spare seat. I'm happy to contribute for petrol, and make some new friends.
Cheers!
I'm going to Latitude and Leeds from Chesterfield
I'm driving to Leeds from Liverpool, stopping off near preston so if 2 people need a lift that is on the way/ near to where I'll be driving through let me know
Hey wesap! I am going from Manchester, but there is no problem for me to get from Manchester to Liverpool. So, can I join you?

hey, i'm volunteering at latitude this year, so excited but not really thought about travel!
Is anyone coming from manchester/leeds? (or anywhere up north really cos i don't mind getting the bus to where you are!)
i'm working Delta so don't have to be there on tuesday or anything, but will be working until 9am on monday.
It'd be lovely to be able to share a lift with somebody and make new friends! i'm willing to contribute towards petrol and maybe even bake cookies for the journey! :)
Eloisimo, I am travelling from Chesterfield if this helps
Anyone from near Bury/Colchester/Ipswich? I live half an hour away from all three.
Eloisimo, I'm also working Delta!
