Houghton Hall is located half a mile off the A148 King’s Lynn to Fakenham road, approximately 13 miles from East of King’s Lynn and 10 miles West of Fakenham. Please follow event directional signs for ‘Houghton Festival’.

The road takes you through New Houghton, the main gates to the Hall are straight ahead, from here please follow festival access signage. Please respect the local villages when travelling to and from the event – no littering, loud music or careless driving.

If you are driving, or would like to travel by car to Houghton, we ask that you bring a full car of people. Car sharing is a great way to travel and we’ve teamed up with Lift Share. Simply sign up to their page and look for a driver or passenger who is travelling from your way, and offer them a journey or ask for a seat. If you can’t find a match, then post your journey so people going to Houghton can find you. Go here to get started.

Car Parking

Car Parking is charged at £15 per vehicle and is available to purchase in advance from our ticket page.

If you are camping with one of our Boutique suppliers, you need to purchase a Boutique Camping Car Pass.

Please note that if you are attending in a live-in vehicle and have purchased a live-in vehicle pass you will not be required to purchase an additional parking pass.

We strongly advise pre-booking parking online to guarantee a space and a swift entry to the festival.

Once again we are partnering with Tuned in Travel to provide a national coach service from Leeds, London, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham and Peterborough. If you are looking at travel options and want to consider a cost efficient route please head here to look at timetables and prices.

Please note that due to limited site access we cannot accept any large private hire vehicles (minibuses and coaches) on site without advance warning – all unbooked vehicles will be turned away. If you do wish to organise your own private hire you need to contact Tuned in Travel directly so they can schedule in your arrival – customerservices@tunedintravel.com.

There are taxi ranks at Kings Lynn Railway Station, Ely Railway Station and at Houghton Festival. Please only use licensed taxis for all your journeys. There will be a queuing rank in place where you can wait for a taxi and you will dropped at the main entrance drop off.  At the festival there will be a taxi rank for departure to the station or the surrounding area. Please keep in mind that Houghton is in the countryside and advance pre-booking of taxis for late night departure to local accommodation is highly recommended.
