There will be ample free parking provided in the fields directly behind the gardens. The Festival main entrance is over the causeway between the two ponds, just below the car park. All parking/access will be clearly sign posted, please see the map below for directions. Disabled visitors (Blue Badge Holders only) and pedestrians should use the garden main entrance off the village green next to St Peter’s Church.
