PARKING - ARRIVING BY CAR
The festival offers visitor parking at 5 sites in or near Alresford.
All of these sites are working fields, farms or sports pitches, therefore, caution underfoot is needed whilst walking to and from cars. Other than Blue Badge parking (located at Perins School) the committee consider that none of these sites are suitable for the infirm. Parking at Manor Farm is on hard standing but is located a 15 minute walk from the festival.
Parking is at your own risk, and we accept no responsibility for personal injury or vehicle damage.
We request that you respect residents by not parking on verges, side roads or driveways - this was a major issue in 2025. Parking marshals will be on site in 2026.
