Hop Festival visitor information
The confirmed essentials for Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September 2026.
Train and walking
Faversham station is roughly a 10-minute walk from Market Place. Rail is the simplest option because the festival occupies streets across the town centre.
Check Faversham station servicesParking and camping
Festival parking and camping arrangements can change. Use the official festival site for booking and final instructions rather than relying on information from a previous year.

Families and accessibility
The main festival is free to enter and held across public streets. Surfaces, crowds and individual venues vary; contact the organiser or venue directly for specific access requirements.
Food, pubs and toilets
