FAQs

How do I get to Slessor Gardens?

Dead easy — Dundee train station is literally a 5-minute walk away. ScotRail runs frequent services from Edinburgh (1h 20m), Glasgow (1h 30m), and Aberdeen (1h 10m). Loads of people come in on the train and walk straight down to the waterfront.

Is there parking nearby?

There's parking at Dundee Waterfront and the city centre car parks (Gellatly Street and Shore Terrace are close). That said, on festival nights the city gets busy — the train is honestly your best bet and saves the hassle.

What are the best pubs and pre-drinks spots nearby?

The Jute Café Bar and Braes Bar are popular pre-festival spots. The Counting House on Reform Street is great for a pint before heading down. The waterfront itself has a few bars that get lively on festival weekends.

What time do the gates open?

Gates typically open around 5pm on weekdays and 3–4pm on weekends, with headliners on stage from around 9–9:30pm. Always check the official Discovery Festival schedule closer to the event as times can vary.

Is there a dress code?

No dress code — it's an outdoor music festival in July. Pack layers though, this is Scotland! A light jacket and comfortable shoes are recommended. The Slessor Gardens site is mostly standing on grass and paving.

Can I buy a day ticket if I only want one night?

Yes! Day tickets are usually available for individual nights. Weekend passes sell out fastest so grab those early. If you're flexible, day tickets can sometimes be found on the exchange too.
