Wildwood Festival

Reaching the festival by car is straightforward. The Horseheath Racecourse site is on Horncastle Road between Linton and Horseheath, just off the A1307. It’s about a 30-minute drive south from Cambridge (off the M11 motorway, north of London). When you’re nearing Linton, watch for event signs - satnavs can sometimes misdirect drivers to the north side of the highway, whereas the entrance is safely reachable via the south side (there’s a designated crossing). On arrival, ample festival parking is typically available for visitors.

If you prefer public transport, the closest major station is Cambridge. Trains run frequently to Cambridge from London (King’s Cross or Liverpool Street) and other cities. From Cambridge you can hop on a Stagecoach bus (Route 13 towards Haverhill) that stops in Linton village - the ride takes about 20-30 minutes. Alternatively, local taxis or ride-shares can get you to the site in around 20 minutes. Check the latest bus timetables: buses generally run hourly, especially during the day, but may be less frequent late in the evening.

For visitors flying in, London Stansted Airport is the nearest major airport (about 40 miles away). Stansted offers frequent trains and coaches to Cambridge, making it a convenient entry point. London Luton (about 50 miles) and London Heathrow (about 70 miles) are farther but have good coach links to Cambridge or central London. If you land at any London airport, the quickest route is often to take a train to Cambridge and then follow the guidance above. Whatever you choose, allow extra travel time, especially on busy summer weekends.

Once in the area, plan your accommodation. Camping on-site (for tents and camper-vans) is often included with festival tickets - be sure to book your camping pass early if that’s your style. If you’d rather not camp, the village of Linton has a couple of quaint B&Bs and inns. Many visitors instead stay in Cambridge, about 15-20 minutes away by car or bus, which offers everything from budget guesthouses to mid-range hotels. Nearby villages like Sawston or Great Chesterford may have country pubs with rooms. Wherever you stay, book as soon as possible - spaces fill up quickly for summer weekends.
