Directions

The festival site shares a postcode with a neighbouring village, and Sat Nav will send you in completely the wrong direction. Keep your journey quick and simple and help us keep our neighbours happy by following the directed route and signs.

From the South - on the A354 look for brown heritage/flower signs for Larmer Tree Gardens which start 13 miles SW of Salisbury and 9 miles NE of Blandford.

From London, West and the North - from the A303 take the A350 to Shaftesbury then A30 towards Salisbury. After approximately 3 miles (on reaching Ludwell) turn right at the signs for Larmer Tree Gardens and then follow brown heritage/flower signs for 5 miles.
