Top Tips To Get The Most From The Festival

  • Please use the FREE official car park, it is carefully sited and is surrounded by places to get refreshments and the all-important Trail Sheets. Respect residents’ parking by not parking on the village roads – thank you.
  • Make a day of it – Norland is a lovely village with lots of fine walking in every direction.
  • Want to avoid the crowds? Friday is quieter, though we’d say come any day and you’ll have a great time!
  • Take your camera – share your pics on our Facebook page or in tweets mentioning our name.
  • Bring your family and friends – the Festival is fun for people of all ages and a perfect family day out!
