FAQs for Visitors
Frequently Asked Questions we've been asked in previous years - with answers. Use the Contact page if you have a question which can't be answered by the FAQ pages.
Q: When and where can I get information about the Festival?
A: The website is updated regularly and contains full information about the
      Festival. A 16-side, A5 booklet, with a list of  venues, events and a map showing
      garden locations, will be available in Henfield shops and other outlets such as pubs
      and cafés from the beginning of May. It will also be available as a downloadable
     PDF file from this website.
Q: Do I have to pay to visit the gardens in the Festival?
A: No - entry to all gardens is free. Some garden owners may collect money for their
     favourite charity, but all donations are optional.
Q: Can I park at the Festival?
A: There are two public car parks: the Coopers Way car park near The Henfield Hall;
     the Library car park. These car parks are marked on the Festival map, and they will
     be free on both days. There is a car park marked on the printed version of the map
     near Hollands Lane. Note that this is not now available. Note that there are also
     events in The Henfield Hall on both days - and there is an artisan market in the
​     Coopers Way car park on Sunday.  
     Parking on roads near individual gardens is not  guaranteed. The village roads can
     get very busy, so take care when crossing them. Take advantage of the many quiet
     footpaths that criss-cross the village - marked with red, dotted lines on the map.
Q: Will there be WC facilities at the gardens?
A: Garden owners will decide whether to provide WC facilities. These gardens will be
     marked with a symbol in the booklet and on the website. The public toilets in the
     High Street will be open, and pubs and cafés usually provide facilities.
Q: Will snacks or other forms of food and drink be available at the Festival?
A: Some garden owners may sell food and drink in their gardens. These gardens will be
     marked with an appropriate symbol in the booklet and on the website. Many of the
     community venues will also be selling snacks or meals.
Q: Will dogs be allowed in the gardens?
A: Some garden owners may welcome dogs in their gardens. These gardens will be
     marked with a 'dog'symbol in the booklet and on the website. Unless allowed
      otherwise by the owners, please keep your dog on a lead,
Q: Will there be wheelchair access to the gardens?
A: Some garden owners can provide complete or partial wheelchair access to their
     gardens. These gardens will be marked with a 'wheelchair' symbol in the booklet
     and on the website, and the type of access - 'partial/full' - will be indicated.
Q: Will I be able to get Festival information in Henfield on the Festival days?
A: Yes - the Information Point will be housed in Gallery BN5 in the High Street, south
      of Sainsburys supermarket -  and marked with an "i" on the map.
