Today's Travel News

If you’re coming to War and Peace this year, please be aware that Operation Stack is currently on so here are a few words of advice!  We are in daily contact with Kent Police and Kent Highways to ensure we have the latest news and information.

The A20 runs alongside the M20 and passes directly by the Racecourse so all exhibitors, campers and public can take the turning at Junction 8 and follow the signs for the A20, taking you past the turning to the lovely Leeds Castle. When you reach Ashford, follow the signs for A292 until you get to the roundabout over the motorway, then pick up signs for A20 Sellindge and you’re just a short while from War and Peace then!

There are also other routes including using the M2/A2 motorways.

Alternatively; don’t forget we have a mainline train station immediately next door to the Racecourse – it’s less than 400 feet away!  Westenhanger station is 8-minutes down the line from Ashford making it accessible from all parts of Kent, London and beyond. So why not let the train take the strain!

There is also plenty of room to camp onsite if you would like to join in the fun and forget about the traffic!  If you’d like to camp you can do all your paperwork on arrival; we’ll always find room for you!  And of course there is loads of free fabulous evening entertainment you can then come along to.

Keep tuned to any of our local radio stations for the latest updates on the traffic and travel: BBC Radio Kent, KMFM or Heart.

Tickets are undated so can be used any day of the show so make sure you check your map, have water with you and leave plenty of time!  War and Peace will carry on regardless!
