The Festival Car Park is based on farmland that is sloping and undulating and is not suitable for people with mobility impairments. The Festival Car Park is not suitable for large vans/motor homes due to tight access.

There are no parking concessions in any of the town car parks for Festival ticket holders, traders or stallholders. We advise you to use public transport or the Festival Bus wherever possible, thereby reducing the environmental impact and improving safety.
