Timescape

By Car: The Timescape Festival site is located in the countryside near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire (postcode PE28 2PH). It is easily reached via major roads. If driving from the south (e.g., London), a common route is the M11 north to Cambridge followed by the A14 west toward Huntingdon, then follow the local road signs to Abbots Ripton. From the north or Midlands, take the A1(M) south and exit onto local roads as directed. The venue will be clearly sign-posted. Onsite parking is usually available (often requiring advance tickets), making driving a convenient option if you need flexibility. Keep in mind that traffic can build up on busy weekends, so allow extra travel time or consider car-sharing.

By Train: The closest railway station is Huntingdon (on the East Coast Main Line), about 8 miles from the site. Direct trains from London King's Cross reach Huntingdon in under an hour. Cambridge station (about 12 miles away) has even more frequent services. From either station, you can hire a local taxi or catch a bus into nearby villages. Note there is no station at the festival site itself. Some visitors opt to take the train to nearby St Ives (Cambridgeshire) and then a short taxi ride to the grounds. If traveling by coach, National Express and other operators serve both Cambridge and Huntingdon from London and other major cities - just plan for a final taxi or bus from there to the festival. Remember to check schedules in advance, as late-night service may be limited in rural areas.

By Air: The nearest international airports are London Stansted (about 50 minutes by car) and London Luton (around 1 hour). Both have frequent flights across the UK and Europe. From Stansted, visitors can take the Stansted Express to London and then a connecting train to Cambridge or Huntingdon. Regional trains from Stansted to Cambridge (about 30 minutes) are also available. Heathrow and East Midlands airports are farther away (roughly 2 hours by road) and require an additional rail or coach transfer to reach Cambridgeshire. Consider renting a car or booking a shuttle/taxi from the airport to Huntingdon or Cambridge, then continue by train or bus. Always check transport schedules, as options may be limited late at night or early morning.

Accommodation: The festival typically offers on-site camping options (from basic tent pitches to fully furnished glamping) allowing you to stay right by the music. If camping is not your style, consider nearby towns: Huntingdon (about a 15-minute drive) and the historic village of St Ives (Cambridgeshire) both have a variety of hotels, B&Bs, and cottage rentals. Cambridge (roughly 20-25 minutes away) provides the largest range of accommodations but requires a longer drive. Since August weekends fill up quickly, book any hotel or cottage well in advance. Finally, August in Cambridgeshire can be warm during the day and cool at night - pack sunscreen and layers to stay comfortable in changing conditions.
