The West Sussex approach
Leaving London, there are two ways down. One takes the A3 to Petersfield and cuts across on the A272; the other follows the M23 and A27 via Arundel. Whichever you use, you finish on either the A286 from Midhurst or the A285 from Petworth. Both are narrow, lined with hedges and slow once busy.
On a normal day the drive from central London takes about two hours, but on a Festival Saturday expect three to three and a half. Coming from Gatwick, give it an hour and a quarter. From Heathrow it's an hour and three quarters.
Approach from the east and the A27 through Chichester is where you'll get stuck; it queues up well before the estate itself does.
