Getting Here...
No parking at festival site.
Due to the rural location of this event, use of public transport is strongly encouraged. Equally encouraged, is parking considerately elsewhere in Fenny, and arriving at the festival on foot. Therefore reducing impact on local residents.
The festival is, thankfully, less than a miles walk from the nearest train station, – Fenny Stratford.
Access the Festival via the towpath found on Watling Street, Bletchley (opposite Milward Drive).
