Travel

How you travel to and from the festival is the biggest contributing factor to Greenbelt’s carbon footprint. That’s why we encourage all Greenbelters to take public transport and to offset your journey when you purchase your festival ticket.

Greenbelt takes place in the beautiful, landscaped grounds of Boughton Estate, three miles from Kettering town centre. Kettering sits neatly on the main west-to-east road across central England, the A14.

It takes one hour to reach Kettering by train from London St. Pancras. There are also direct trains to and from Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Leeds.

If you’re travelling by train, we have a shuttle bus to take you from Kettering Station straight to the festival site. A shuttle bus timetable will be available closer to the festival. The shuttle bus can take wheelchairs.

Parking at the festival

If you are driving to the festival you will need a parking pass for your vehicle. Parking tickets can be purchased via our Box Office.

Weekend Car Pass: £15
Campervan Field Pass: £42–£60
(Please note that there are no electrical hookups on site.)

Lift-share

Car Share to request a lift or give someone a ride to the festival. 

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.

For those coming by bike there will be somewhere to lock your bike near Box Office. Bikes are not permitted in the Campsite or Festival Village. 

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.
