Shuttle Bus and Car Parking
We have been working with Lennoxlove House and East Lothian Council to help improve the car parking during the Book Festival. You can take advantage of the free bus service to Lennoxlove House and leave your car at home or in town. A free Park and Ride bus service will operate for the duration of the Festival from the East Car Park in Neilson Park Road in Haddington, with an additional stop at the Market Street bus stop. Shuttle bus timetable details will be available here and in the East Lothian Courier the week prior to the Festival.
Our pre-booked car parking period is now over, as we cannot guarantee delivery before the Festival. The £3.00 parking fee can paid on arrival at the driveway entrance, subject to availability.

Cycling and Walking
A cycle and walking path now runs from Haddington to the North Entrance of Lennoxlove House. This can be picked up at the River Tyne Path in Haddington (Core Path 260). Cross the Stevenson Bridge (Core Path 6) to the newly constructed core path (340) towards Grants Brae; the old well used by Robert Burns mother, where the path emerges from the wood close to the B6368, it’s possible to cross the road with care, and enter the Lennoxlove estate via the north entrance.
East Lothian is a very popular cycling destination and there are many cycle routes to Haddington detailed in this map, downloadable from East Lothian Council’s website: Cycle routes of East Lothian.
