PARKING
There is a spacious surfaced car park adjacent to the Village Centre. There are three disabled spaces close to the Main Entrance. Otherwise please do not park close to the Main Entrance (except for unloading and loading), so as to allow access for emergency vehicles should they be needed during your event.
​
Parking on the Village Green is prohibited and please do not park in the adjacent Farm Court, where the residents rightly object to their parking spaces being used.
Mobile catering vehicles may be parked on the tarmac at the front of the Village Centre.
