🚗A note on parking:
With lots of people expected to join us on Sunday, we anticipate that the car parks closest to the park are likely to fill up quickly.
If you’re able to, we’d really encourage you to walk, cycle or car-share to help with parking and keep traffic moving.
If you do need to drive, please allow a little extra time to find a space and park considerately, safely and legally, making sure not to block driveways, roads or access for residents and emergency vehicles.
We want everyone to have a brilliant afternoon, including the people who live around the park, so please help us keep the area accessible and respectful for our local community.
