Getting to Greenbelt

Greenbelt is taking place in the grounds of Boughton Estate close to the house, but as you approach please ensure you follow the Greenbelt Festival AA signs and not signs to Boughton House. Directions to Greenbelt Festival will be made available closer to the festival and sent to all ticketholders via email.

We encourage all our cycling enthusiasts to pedal their way to the festival. It’s not only eco-friendly, but it’s also a fantastic way to kickstart your Greenbelt adventure amidst nature. Plus, it’s a great warm-up for the weekend’s festivities! For a detailed route from Kettering Rail Station to the festival grounds, check out our recommended path on OS or Google Maps.

We offer a designated area near the box office reception where you can securely lock up your bike, but please note this is done so at your own risk.

Prefer to keep your bike closer? Feel free to keep your bike right in your tent if that’s your preference.

For the safety and comfort of all festival attendees, we ask that you dismount your bike while navigating any of the festival grounds. However, you are welcome to use your bike to ‘walk’ your gear and panniers to your camping spot. Bikes are not permitted in the festival village at any time.

As a little thank you from us to you for travelling greener, anyone who doesn’t travel to Greenbelt by car can get a free voucher bundle at the festival. Simply head to the Green Fairies tent (Glade Arena) with proof of your travel (train ticket, Strava route etc) to redeem your discounted drinks, food and guide vouchers.

Boughton House Estate is private property. Details of when the area of the estate being used by Greenbelt will be accessible will be released closer to the festival.

Vehicles are NOT permitted into the Campsite or Festival Village. On arrival, you will be directed to a designated car parking area as directed by the stewards and make your way to the campsite on foot. Trailers (which aren’t trailer tents) must be parked and unloaded in the car park.

We open the site slightly early for those with access needs to enjoy quiet entry to the site, but this needs to be booked with Access Team. If you need any support getting onto/off-site then please contact our Access Team ahead of the festival. Golf buggy-style taxis are available on site for anyone with access issues. For any other access queries, please contact our Access Team.
