This year we will again be running the very successful Park and Walk operating from the Sands Playing fields. This is the best place to guarantee a parking space and only a few minutes walk will take you directly into the centre of Holmfirth. Please note: There is a small donation of £2 per car. HD9 Community Music will be on hand to guide you into your parking space.
The address for your Sat Nav is:
194 Huddersfield Road
Thongsbridge
Holmfirth
West Yorkshire
HD9 3TP
The Sands Playing fields are not suitable for camping or campervans. However, there are 2 campsites fairly close to Holmfirth. These are:
The Woodhead Barn, Bedding Edge Rd, Holmfirth HD9 1TP and
Holme Valley Camping & Caravan Park, Thongsbridge, Holmfirth, HD9 7TD
Yes! The disabled access loos (available at the top of Hollowgate) also have baby changing stations inside and there are baby changing facilities available inside.
Yes, Holmfirth is generally a very dog friendly town and dogs are welcome as long as you are sure they can cope with the conditions. However, the food festival is extremely busy, so we advise against bringing dogs if possible because their paws could easily be stood on and their leads could trip people up. If you do choose to bring your dog, they must be kept on leads at all times and you must clear up after your dog immediately. If your dog is getting upset or is causing a nuisance to other festival goes then you and your dog may be asked to leave.
Yes, there will be several traders selling veggie or vegan dishes and/or other special diet options. Please check our Festival Map closer to the time which will detail each individual exhibitors options. Please check with the individual exhibitor to make sure the food/ingredients are right for your requirements.
