Parking
For the Studios, please use the postcode HP14 3YF and enter through the gate, just off the Ibstone Road, with the Garsington Studios’ signs in front of it. Once through the gate drive in a straight line until you reach the Studios and one of our car parking stewards will direct you to a parking space.

Due to limited parking at the Studios, we ask that you travel in one car where possible, or if you live very locally to the Studios consider walking or cycling. We also ask that at the end of your time slot you make your way back to your vehicle to free-up space for guests coming to subsequent sessions.
