Important Car Park Information

Due to the limited number of parking spaces, a ticketed car park system will be in place for this event.

If you plan to park on-site, it is essential to purchase a parking ticket (£1) for each car you intend to bring. This helps us ensure that everyone who wishes to park can do so comfortably. We also encourage car-sharing wherever possible to maximise available spaces.

Please note that without a valid ticket, parking cannot be guaranteed. In such cases, alternative parking may need to be arranged, and refunds will not be provided. To avoid any inconvenience, we recommend securing your parking ticket when booking your Wassail tickets.

Finally, please have your car parking ticket ready on your mobile phone or device to show the parking attendant upon arrival.
