Travel Directions from Ipswich - Travel on the A14 towards Bury St Edmunds.  Pass Stowmarket and you soon enter the 50 mile an hour speed limit and the Haughley bends.  After the bends and shortly before leaving the 50 mph speed restriction, take the right hand slip road following the signs for Haughley Street, Haughley Park and Wetherden.  Be careful crossing the opposite carriage way and follow the road through the village and round to the left.  Haughley park is about 1/2 mile on the left.

Travel Directions from Bury St Edmunds -  Travel on the A14 towards Ipswich. After the junction with the A1088 to Ixworth, take the next junction signposted Haughley & Wetherden.  Follow this road straight through and Haughley Park will be about 1/2 mile on your right. 

Please follow the marshals instructions on where to park.
