Ferry advice
If you are travelling by foot you can either book in advance and collect your tickets from the terminal or buy your
tickets on the day. The ferry terminal is a short walk from the train station and bus stop and is clearly signposted. If
you are travelling by foot, ensure you arrive at the ferry terminal in plenty of time, making sure you are there at least
ten minutes before departure. Foot passengers board the ferry from the upstairs of the terminal which can be
accessed by lift. On board the ferry there is a cafeteria serving hot meals as well as a small shop and coffee cabin.
Once you arrive in Craignure, directions to the AGM will be clearly signposted and there will be people to show you
the way. The village hall is just a 5 minute walk away from the terminal but transport can be arranged if required.
