Festival Information

Homestead Park

The park will still be open and available in all its usual ways. You won’t need any form of ticket to get in, you won’t be prevented from doing anything you usually do.

There will of course be a lot going on, and quite a few more people about, so it will be different to usual!

There is no car parking at the festival (except for Blue Badge holders). Please do not travel to the festival by car.

More information on travelling to the park on the festival weekend is here.

Tickets

The Homestead Park Festival is free for everyone. There is no need to sign up, register or have any sort of ticket. So just rock up whenever and however you feel like it!

Timings

Homestead Park Festival will open at 10am on Saturday 5th July and close at 8pm, before reopening at 10am on Sunday 6th July. The festival closes at 6pm on Sunday (with the park remaining open until 7.30pm).

You can come and go as many times as you like - pop in and out, or bring a blanket, camping chairs and stay all day, if you like.

Families

This is a family-friendly event where everyone is welcome. We will have play areas and activities for children of all ages. 

There are baby-changing facilities in the toilet block by the main lawn.

You are welcome to breastfeed anywhere you like on site.

Please note that children remain the responsibility of carers at all times, however if you do get separated there is a lost person point at our information tent on the main lawn, where you will also find medics.

Some activities and workshops will require an adult to attend along with their child.
