Home Farm Fest

Getting to Home Farm is straightforward. The festival site is on Main Street in Chilthorne Domer (postcode BA22 8RD), just a few miles north of the town of Yeovil. By car, use the A303 which runs east-west just south of Yeovil. From the east (London/Bath), follow the A303 westbound past Wincanton and exit for Yeovil/A37 at Sparkford. From the west or north (Bristol/Gloucester), join the M5 south and take the A303 east at Taunton. Follow the A37 to Yeovil and then local signs to Chilthorne Domer. It’s a good idea to enter BA22 8RD into your satnav for precise directions. There is ample free parking on site, with stewards guiding you to the festival car parks. Be aware that rural roads can be narrow, so plan extra travel time and consider car-sharing to ease parking.

If you prefer public transport, Yeovil is your destination. Yeovil Junction station (South Western Railway) has trains from London Waterloo and Exeter; Yeovil Pen Mill station (Great Western Railway) has trains from Bristol and beyond. Both are about 3 miles from Chilthorne Domer. From either station you can take a taxi, or if you’re feeling adventurous, a public bus. Yeovil’s main bus station is Parkway, where national coach services (National Express) also stop. Stagecoach route 52/54 and community buses serve nearby villages, although services may be infrequent. In practice, many festival-goers take a short taxi from Yeovil (10–15 minutes) to the event. Yeovil is also on the Coastliner 10 bus route from Taunton via Castle Cary.

For air travel, the nearest airports are Exeter (about 60 miles, roughly 1 hour drive) and Bristol (about 75 miles, roughly 1–1.5 hours). From Exeter Airport you can rent a car or take a train via Exeter Central to Yeovil Pen Mill. From Bristol Airport there are coaches or a train to Bristol Temple Meads, then onward to Yeovil Junction. Another option is Bournemouth Airport (about 50 miles away), which has good domestic links and car rentals – you would then drive via the A303 to Yeovil. No matter which airport you choose, renting a car for the last leg is often easiest. Major car hire shops and taxi services operate from these airports on weekends.

Accommodation: The festival offers on-site camping fields for tents and camper vans (book these in advance when you buy tickets). If you prefer indoor lodging, Yeovil has plenty of hotels, inns and B&Bs to choose from. Popular chains and local guest houses in the town will have rooms, and most are less than a 15 minute drive from the farm. You can also look for bed & breakfasts and country pubs in the villages around Yeovil. Because summer weekends in Somerset can fill up quickly, it’s wise to book as soon as you plan your trip. Many attendees enjoy camping at the event and sleeping under the stars—or you can arrive fresh each day by staying in town.
