HESFES field guide

HEFF 2027 at Uttoxeter Racecourse

The Home Educating Families’ Festival runs from 11 to 18 August 2027. Find the venue, camping arrangements and the organiser’s booking information.

Wednesday 11 to Wednesday 18 August 2027 · Uttoxeter Racecourse, Wood Lane, Staffordshire ST14 8BD.

HEFF is a volunteer-run gathering with its own organisers. Each family member needs an attendee ticket, including children. The festival lists camping, live music and workshops as part of admission. A week ticket lets families take their time over activities rather than choosing them all in advance.

Pitches, vehicles and quieter camping

HEFF describes a quieter camping area further from the toilets. Check the racecourse map and accessibility information with the organiser if a particular route or facility matters. Electric hook-up pitches are booked separately. An electric pitch reservation on its own does not admit anyone to the festival.

If you want a vehicle beside your tent, check the vehicle-ticket rules for the area you intend to camp in. Families staying off site should read the admission rules too. HEFF does not advertise general day tickets.

Check the organiser’s arrangements

Use the official HEFF ticket page to check ticket categories, prices and availability. Take the age of each child on 11 August 2027 when looking at ticket types. The organisers publish their programme nearer the gathering.
