And in a move to make the festival more accessible and environmentally friendly, Scottish Canals has teamed up with McGill’s Buses to provide dedicated one-off shuttle services from both Falkirk High railway station and Upper Newmarket Street in the town centre directly to the event site.
Ross McMillan, head of destinations for Scottish Canals, said: “We’re incredibly excited to welcome visitors from across Scotland and beyond to celebrate this remarkable feat of engineering. Revolution Festival is our way of saying thank you to the thousands of people who visit, support and love this place. We can’t wait to share another unforgettable day with you all.”
Revolution Festival runs from 10am to 5pm at the Falkirk Wheel on Saturday, May 24.
