Travelling to the Venue
Barefoot Festival 2011 will be held in the sumptuous grounds of Prestwold Hall, North Leicestershire. Prestwold Hall is a magnificent country house and grounds, nestled in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside. Located in the heart of the Midlands it is close to Loughborough, Leicester and Nottingham. With easy access by road and rail, Prestwold Hall is the ancestral home of the Packe-Drury–Lowe family. The site is beautiful, tranquil and a fine example of the great British countryside and a perfect location for our event! We will place signs to the event from all major access routes and signs will guide you upon arrival.
