Ross Barton, Operations Director of Stagecoach East said: “The Cambridge Festival is a great event in the calendar, with both experts and visitors coming from all around the world to share and experience some of the best new ideas. Our region is rightly proud to be home to some of the greatest thinkers in the world – so now is your chance to get out and experience the best of what is on offer.

“The bus provides a comfortable, easy and great value way to get around. So, this year, for the Festival, why not leave the car at home and let the bus get you to your next great adventure?”
