By car:

If you can find Mattishall, you’re almost there. The village of Mattishall is just off the A47, about 10 miles out of Norwich, and is signposted at the exit you’ll need. Once you’re in Mattishall, you need to take the turning by the Church (or by the chip shop, depending on your worldview) going south (this is left coming from Norwich). Keep on going until you come to a T junction, turn right and it’s the first place on the left!  You’re there!

By train:

The nearest station is Wymondham (pronounced ‘Windum’), but only head there if you have arranged to be picked up beforehand (try the Facebook Page). If you’re getting the train to Norwich your best bet is to do the rest…

By bus:

Konect 4 buses go direct from Norwich bus station to Mattishall. You can walk from there to the Festival in 20 minutes, but it’s best to get picked up unless you know your way.
