Chipping Norton itself has no train station, but the nearest station is Kingham (about 4 miles away on the Cotswold Line between Oxford and Worcester). From Kingham it’s a short taxi or bus ride into town or the festival site, with regular trains from London Paddington (about 90 minutes), Oxford and Worcester. Oxford Station is also served by local Stagecoach buses (routes S3/NS3) to Chipping Norton. For longer journeys, national coaches connect London, Birmingham and other cities to nearby towns, and the festival often provides shuttle buses on event weekends.
By road, Chipping Norton is easily reached from the main motorways. From London or the south, take the M40 north to Junction 9 (Bicester) then follow the A4421 and A44 signs to Chipping Norton. From the north or west (for example, Birmingham or Gloucester) follow the M5 and then the A44 eastbound. The town has several public car parks for visitors. If you’re heading directly to The Big Feastival at Alex James's farm, the event provides dedicated parking (with permit) and clear signage on festival days.
The nearest airports are Birmingham (about 50 miles away) and London Heathrow (around 80 miles). Birmingham Airport has excellent road links via the M42 and M40, while from Heathrow you can take the M40 north. From London’s airports, travelers often take a train or coach to Oxford or Banbury and then continue by car or local transit. In any case, the key routes are via the M40 and A44 which bring you into the Cotswolds.
Chipping Norton and its surroundings offer plenty of places to stay: charming country inns, B&Bs and small hotels in town, plus farmhouses and cottages in nearby villages. For festival visitors, The Big Feastival also offers on-site camping and glamping. Whichever you pick, be sure to book early – summer weekends and bank holidays are very popular, and accommodations can fill up quickly.
