Where to park?
Please find the closest car parks to the event below:
Please note
These are all paid car parks and some are only short stay.
We would suggest that if you are planning to park on the Common car park to come sooner rather than later as it does tend to fill up quickly due to its location right next to the marquee where our events are held.
Accessibility
Disabled parking is available on the common car park, and there is a designated area within the marquee for persons with mobility scooters and disabilities.
On arrival please speak to one of the organisers to assist in getting to this location.

Carnival Procession
The Carnival procession has been a key event ever since the very first Carnival over 50 years ago and is the 2nd largest non-funded procession in the country. Rumour has it that the procession can be seen from space, although we have yet to verify that!
