New for 2026
Getting to and from the Stranraer Oyster Festival 2026 is easy thanks to our free shuttle bus service.
Calling at Stranraer Academy, Lidl, Ochtrelure Playpark, Queen's Drive (The Boag), and Sheuchan School on Leswalt High Road before arriving at the festival site, buses run at regular intervals throughout each day in both directions.
On Friday, buses run from 5pm to midnight, with the last bus returning from the festival at 11:45pm. On Saturday, the service operates from 10am to midnight, and on Sunday from 10am to 6:45pm.
