Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, is the much-loved country retreat of the British Royal Family and has been the private home to generations of Monarchs since 1862.
In an area of outstanding natural beauty nestled in 20,000 acres, Sandringham House and Gardens were the setting for the very first televised Christmas Day speech broadcast in 1957, recorded by Queen Elizabeth II.
Built in 1870 by The Prince and Princess of Wales, who later became King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, Sandringham House contains family portraits by leading contemporary court painters such as: Heinrich von Angeli, Sir Luke Fildes, Franz Winterhalter and Edward Hughes.
The Gardens, opened by King Edward VII in 1908 house landscaped rockwork by James Pulham and trees of all ages including an oak tree planted by Queen Victoria, a Giant Red Wood tree planted by Princess Christian of Denmark and the oldest tree in the Garden, a Veteran Oak - said to be over 8oo years old.
Queen Elizabeth II opened the House itself to the public in her Silver Jubilee year in 1977 and continued to spend time at Sandringham with members of the British Royal Family, up until her death in September 2022.
Heritage Live is honoured to hold the exclusive contract for staging concerts within the grounds of this beautiful Royal Estate.

GETTING HERE
& Other Information
TRAVELLING BY CAR
Access to the Sandringham concert site via road on concert days will be very busy - we recommend setting off early and being prepared to wait for parking. Leaving the site will also take a considerable time due to the limited road infrastructure surrounding the estate. We request that customers please be patient and respectful to our staff and neighbours when leaving the venue. Please allow a maximum of 120mins to enter and to leave the car parks. Car parks will open from midday (concert arena will open at 2pm).
There is plenty of car parking space in the grounds of Sandringham for the Heritage Live concerts, which will be clearly signposted as you approach the estate. We do advise purchasing a parking ticket in advance - when purchasing your concert tickets you will be offered the option to also purchase a parking ticket (priced at £10 per car). It will also be possible to purchase a car park ticket (cash only) on the evening of your chosen concert.
Sandringham is 6 miles north-east of King's Lynn and is signposted from the A148 Fakenham road and the A149 Hunstanton road.
CAR PARKS
Concert Car parking will be clearly signposted as you approach the Sandringham area, but please use Postcode PE31 6AZ, heading for the village of WEST NEWTON.
We have two car parks for concert customers, RED and BLUE. There is no difference between them - they are simply different fields. Please head for the one that is most convenient for you.
ACCESSIBLE / DISABLED CUSTOMERS
For discounted Accessible tickets, please purchase your tickets online at AXS Ticketing. Please note that if you also require a space on our Access Viewing Platform (AVP) and/or a space in our disabled car parks, you MUST book this option when buying your concert tickets via AXS Ticketing. Spaces on the AVP and within the Disabled Car Parks cannot be booked separately, or at a later date. Please note these tickets are sold on a first-come-first-served basis.
Access Toilets will be provided in the main arena and within the AVP compound.
Access Zone - a roped off area in front of the AVP will also be provided, allowing Access Customers space on the grass to relax and view the concert in a secure area. Anyone with an Access ticket (purchased via AXS) will be permitted entry to this area on the day of the concert, which is also in close proximity to Access toilets. Camp chairs are also permitted in the area and some chairs will be provided - first come first served.
In addition, ‘Vehicles for Change’ will be providing one of their vehicles for individuals who require either a changing bench and/or hoist or where more space for wheelchair users to access the toilet is needed. The vehicle has either a tail-lift or side-lift with large opening doors which enable the wheelchair user to move straight into the toilet and washroom space. Inside, there is plenty of room for carers or family members who may need to assist or accompany the user. There is a sink at wheelchair height, a toilet with drop down grab rails at either side, a full sized (6 ft) free standing and height adjustable changing bench and an electric ceiling tracked hoist which is compatible with all loop slings. A shower is included with hot and cold running water. They all have heating and consumables such as wipes and disposable gloves and a bin for waste will be provided.
Please note that in common with all events, there is a limited number of tickets available and when they are sold-out, they are sold-out, but for your information, Heritage Live apportions considerably more tickets to Access Customers than virtually any other festival or large music event in the UK.
