Published 25 July 2026·4 min read·8 views

Houghton Festival, 6–9 August 2026 at Houghton Hall, Norfolk — Stansted is the closest major airport. Transfer times, arrival tips and fixed-price group vehicles for the UK’s most immersive electronic weekend.

Quick answer: Houghton Festival 2026 runs 6–9 August at Houghton Hall in Norfolk. Stansted (around 1 hour 30 minutes by road) is the closest major airport, and its huge European route network makes it the natural arrival point for Houghton's famously international crowd. Luton and Heathrow work too with a pre-booked car.

When and where

The adult-only electronic and live-music weekend returns to the grounds of Houghton Hall, near King's Lynn in rural Norfolk — a location with limited public transport, which is exactly why most flying visitors pre-book a door-to-door transfer.

Getting there from the airports

Stansted (STN) — approx. 1 hour 30 minutes via the A11/A10. Best European connections.
Luton (LTN) — approx. 1 hour 50 minutes.
Heathrow (LHR) — around 2 hours 30 minutes; painless with a fixed price agreed up front and a driver meeting you in arrivals.

Houghton-specific advice

Rural Norfolk has patchy phone signal — agree your return pickup time and point before the weekend starts. Our office confirms both in writing.
The festival runs around the clock; we operate 24/7, so a 3am airport run after the last set is no problem — pre-book it.
Estates and MPVs carry camping kit comfortably; tell us your luggage when booking and we'll recommend the right vehicle.
