The sun is out, spring is in the air and we are only one season away from the UK summer festival season 2025 – including this year’s Latitude Festival.

Conceived by Festival Republic, Latitude aimed to offer a diverse cultural experience beyond traditional music festivals, incorporating theatre, comedy, literature, and art installations alongside its musical line-up.

From its inception, Latitude distinguished itself by its eclectic programming and family-friendly atmosphere, quickly establishing itself as a highlight of the UK festival season. Over the years, it has hosted a wide array of internationally renowned artists and performers, while also providing a platform for emerging talent.

The festival continues to evolve, maintaining its commitment to innovation and creativity, and remains a beloved event for festival-goers seeking a rich and varied cultural experience.

Whether you’re planning to attend or still deciding, here’s our comprehensive guide to Latitude Festival 2025, including campsite gate opening times.

Latitude Festival is set to take place from July 24 to July 27 2025

For those driving, disregard Sat Nav systems and follow the clearly marked temporary festival road signage, as routes vary depending on your ticket type and drop-off needs. Parking for both weekend and day attendees is provided in separate fields adjacent to the campsites, and is included in the ticket price.

It’s important to remember that sleeping, camping, or fires are strictly prohibited in the car parks, and illegally parked vehicles will be towed. Suffolk Police will be actively enforcing speed limits in the approach to the site.

For drop-offs and pick-ups, a designated point is located at Yellow Gate. If you’re using taxis, they will be ranked at Yellow Gate One and are clearly identified with signage. Pre-booked private hire vehicles are also available, and it’s essential to confirm the fare when booking as it cannot be altered later.

The Big Green Coach returns to offer convenient travel options for both weekend and day attendees. For a hassle-free weekend experience, choose a return coach arriving on Thursday or Friday, with all coaches departing on Monday. Pick-up locations for weekend return coaches include Chelmsford, Colchester, Ipswich, London (Stratford), and London (Victoria).

Day visitors can maximize their festival time with return coaches arriving before the music starts on Friday, Saturday, and/or Sunday, departing after the headline set. Day return coaches operate from Colchester, Ipswich, London (Stratford), London (Victoria), and Norwich.”

For attendees traveling to Latitude Festival by train, Halesworth is the most convenient station. Please note there is no direct train service from London. If traveling from London, a change at Ipswich will be necessary. Plan your journey via Greater Anglia or Trainline for information and pricing.
