Travel, parking and access
On-site parking for Tokonatsu 2026 is sold out. Arlesey & Henlow station is about a 15-20 minute walk; do not park in nearby residential streets. Blue Badge arrangements are described inconsistently on the organiser’s pages, so contact Tokonatsu directly before relying on a disabled bay.
This is an outdoor campsite. Permanent toilets/showers and an additional unisex portable shower are planned, but visitors with health or mobility requirements should contact the organiser early to discuss what support is possible. More venue, arrival and parking information is available from Tokonatsu.
