Will there be any road closures?

Henham Park is located between the A12 and the A145 and there are not any planned road closures during the festival.

However, anyone travelling by road should keep an eye on travel conditions in case of any disruption.

Roads around the area may be congested due to the festival and road users are urged to follow temporary festival signage to the park rather than relying on a satnav.

Where can I park?

According to the festival organisers, drivers will not be allowed to stop at the campsite and there is a separate area for those wishing to park for the day or weekend.

Car users will be able to park in adjacent or nearby fields to the campsites.

While parking is included in the price of tickets, visitors are not permitted to sleep, camp or light fires in the car parks.

Any illegally parked cars will be towed away.

Where can I pick up and drop off?

A specific zone for those wanting to pick up and drop off has been allocated.

This point can be found at the yellow gate and directions to this area will be signposted clearly.
