Getting There

Archfest takes place at Redricks Lakes on the Hertfordshire–Essex border, just outside Harlow and Sawbridgeworth.

The address

Redricks Lakes, Redricks Lane, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, CM21 0RL

Use the postcode CM21 0RL for sat-nav, then follow the yellow Archfest signs for the last part of the journey. Signs will guide you to the right car park for your ticket.

By car

Redricks Lakes is a short drive from the M11. Leave at Junction 7 (Harlow) and follow signs for Sawbridgeworth, then the Archfest signs.

  • Parking must be booked in advance — weekend or day parking can be added when you buy your tickets.
  • General parking is next to the main entrance, a short walk from the gate.
  • Gold ticket holders' parking is included — just show your ticket on arrival.
  • Please share lifts where you can. Fewer cars means shorter queues for everyone.

Book parking

Train & shuttle bus

The nearest station is Harlow Town, with direct trains from London Liverpool Street, Stratford, Tottenham Hale and Cambridge.

We run our own Archfest shuttle bus between Harlow Train Station and the festival throughout the weekend. Book a return ticket online — it's the easiest way to arrive without a car.

Book the shuttle

Taxis & drop-off

There's a signed drop-off and pick-up point by the entrance. If you're being collected late at night, agree a meeting time with your driver before you go in — phone signal can be patchy in busy areas.

Accessible parking

Campervan and accessible parking is close to the entrance on the west side of the site. If you have a Blue Badge or access needs, please see our Accessibility page and let us know before the festival so we can plan your arrival.

Campervans & motorhomes

If you've booked a live-in vehicle pitch, follow the campervan signs on arrival. Once you're parked on your pitch, your vehicle stays there until you leave.
