Astrofest is held at ‘Curtin Stadium’ and Edinburgh Oval, off Kent Street, Bentley.

​The stadium is situated on the east side of the Curtin University campus.

Visit Curtin University at Google Maps to get customised directions, straight from your driveway.
Getting to Astrofest 
Parking is free at Astrofest. Please see the photo of the map on the right to see the available carparks. 

Curtin Stadium and Edinburgh Oval are easily accessible by public transport via the Curtin Central Bus Station.

This year the carpark directly next to Curtin Stadium will be closed (except for ACROD permit holders). The carparks below the John Curtin Gallery will all be open. The Curtin Central bus station is also open and directly behind the stadium, so why not consider catching a bus to Astrofest?

Have an ACROD permit?
Let the parking marshalls know when you enter off Kent Street and they will show you where to park in the carpark adjacent to the stadium. 

For more ACROD parking areas and access arrangements, please see the Curtin Campus Access Map.
