Collection is from your front door in Brentwood. You travel in a luxury people-carrier for families and groups. Leaving Brentwood, the car picks up the M25 and keeps to the main roads. For drop-off, the organisers' own rules apply. Cars should be pre-booked both ways as local availability is limited; drop-off and collection is at the set-down point shown on the grounds map. A large free audience car park is managed by attendants. Through the afternoon the car is parked close by, not sent away. Home to Brentwood is about an hour and 28 minutes once clear of the venue traffic.
