Getting Here

• Get here as early as possible!
• Have your e-ticket ready for checking before you reach the ticket gate
• Travel in groups by coach if possible (it’s cheaper and more environmentally friendly)
• Get your friends together and share lifts, fewer cars mean fewer queues.
• Stay over in the Big Church Campsite or Glamping Village and get even more out of your visit, without having to go in and out of the event you get to be fully immersed!
• Allow about 30 minutes to exit the site at the end of the day, but be aware that it could take longer

By Car

Parking is £12.50 per car at the Big Church Festival. 

The Big Church Festival is a big event in a rural location, so getting in and out of the site does mean there may be some queuing. Please bear with our fantastic Traffic Management and Parking teams as they work so hard to get everyone in and out as quickly and safely as possible. 

Once you have parked your car on-site, you can begin to make your way on foot to the campsite or event entrance and get the fun started! 

Please note that there is no access to the event via Mouse Lane in Steyning village. Please follow the road signs.
