Getting to the ridge
The old nursery, Aburi
Forty-five minutes out of Accra on a good day and ninety on a Friday afternoon. Every ticket includes the shuttle in both directions, and it is genuinely the easiest way up.
By shuttle — included in every ticket
From Madina Zongo Junction and from Kwame Nkrumah Circle, every forty minutes from midday. Show the ticket on your phone or a printout; both work. The last one back leaves an hour after the final set and it waits.
By trotro
Anything marked Aburi from Madina. Ask for the old nursery — every driver on that road knows it, and it is the stop after the botanical gardens. Fifteen minutes uphill on foot from there, signed the whole way.
Driving
The Aburi road from Accra, then follow the signs from the town square. The car park is four hundred metres below the field and full by six on the Friday. There is no parking on the road itself — the residents' agreement depends on it.
If the walk is a problem
Tell us in advance and the site vehicle will bring you from the car park to the field and back at any point across the weekend. There is a held space at the front of the main field and a firm path to the food row.

FAQs
What kind of event is this, exactly?
Three nights of music, poetry, quiet spaces and a marketplace, on a ridge an hour above Accra. Somewhere between a festival and a very large family gathering — open skies, grounded people, and a crowd that mostly knows each other by the second night.
Where is the venue?
The old nursery grounds on the Aburi ridge, about forty-five minutes out of Accra on a good day and ninety on a Friday. We send a pin, a bus timetable and a walking route from the lorry station once you have a ticket.
Is there camping?
Not this edition. Each night runs from two in the afternoon until late, and guests go home or to somewhere nearby. We keep a list of guesthouses on the ridge and in Aburi town, and the last shuttle back into Accra leaves an hour after the final set.
Will there be food?
A rotating row of eleven vendors, all of them from Aburi or Accra, cooking until close. Waakye, kelewele, jollof, grilled tilapia, plenty that is vegetarian and a tea tent that never shuts. Nothing on site costs more than GHS 60.
Can I perform or share something?
Yes. There is an open circle each afternoon and a sign-up sheet at the info tent from noon. Bring an instrument, a poem or a story — the only rule is that you finish inside eight minutes, because forty other people are waiting.
Can I bring children?
Under-12s come in free with an adult and there is a shaded corner with mats, drums and someone watching it all afternoon. After nine the volume on the main field is not really for small ears, and most families head off around then.
