Cars left at owners’ risk. The cost of the ticket will help go towards the running of this annual, free-to-attend community event.

The South Hill Park mansion house car park will be closed to the general public over the festival weekend. Please refrain from parking on Ringmead road, the grass verges and on neighbouring residential streets, and use the dedicated parking provided.
