What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

The sculpture park is easily reached by car and free parking is available adjacent to the festival site from 9.30am.

Car sharing is a great idea, for many reasons - more people can come that can't drive, it's better for the environment, and a cheaper way of getting there and back direct so we encourage you where possible to travel with friends.

If I have membership of Sculpture by the Lakes, do I still need to buy an entry ticket to the event? 

Yes. The festival offers a huge range of free and paid for experiences. Members of the sculpture park are warmly invited to be a part of the festival. Festival entry tickets will be required.


How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

Due to deep and fast flowing water, unfortunately we do not allow dogs or children under the age of 14 (including babies).

Tickets are non-refundable, however we will allow you to transfer your ticket to another day up to 48hrs prior to the event starting. In the event of the organisers needing to postpone the event, we will offer all ticket holders the option of transferring their ticket to the new date or a refund (minus any booking fees).

Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?

Yes, no problem at all.
