Fares a hit for music fans

P&O Ferries is offering bargain three-day fares from just £39 return for a car and passengers to coincide with one of France's biggest and best music festivals.

Some of the world's top bands will descend on Arras from 1 to 3 July for a three-day festival in the town’s historic main square, which is a UNESCO heritage site. The line-up includes Coldplay, the Chemical Brothers, Kaiser Chiefs, PJ Harvey and Linkin Park along with a host of breakthrough French acts.

Festival-goers can load up their cars with camping equipment and up to nine of their friends and hop on a ferry from Dover to Calais for the event. The special fares are valid for bookings made before 1 June for travel until 17 July. Arras is just an hour's drive from Calais and P&O Ferries offers a choice of 23 sailings a day on its 90-minute service.
