Travel

Arriving by car

The address is Lower Hewood Farm, Hewood, Chard TA20 4NR. If using GPS, search for ‘Hewood’ as the postcode or ‘Lower Hewood Farm’ may not bring you to exactly the right place.

At the red Hewood sign (on the lane between Thorncombe and Holditch) turn down the hill and take the first track on your right at the end of a long low shed with a corrugated iron roof. Instructions for parking will be provided at this point.

Arriving by train

Direct trains run from London Waterloo or Exeter St Davids to Axminster or Crewkerne , which are a 15 or 20 minute ride away from the farm, respectively.

A taxi ride from the station will cost between £15 and £25.

Most mobile phone users have reasonable access to 3G at the farm.

Accessibility and parking

There is plenty of parking at the farm. To reserve a space nearest the buildings or for further information please contact Alexa on alexa@lowerhewoodfarm.org

The site is situated around a sloped gravel yard with steps leading up to the indoor spaces so wheelchair access is limited. We have a ramp available for access to the largest viewing space (Main Barn on map). For more information please contact alexa@lowerhewoodfarm.org

Food – Lunch and Dinner

Tea and coffee will be available all day as part of your festival pass. Lunch and dinner made with local produce will be available to buy on site. There will also be a bar in the evening.
