We ask all impacted residents to move their vehicles to the Village Residents Parking Area before 10am on the day of the festival.
This will avoid any access issues once the road closures are in place.
If you need to return to the village later during closure hours, you must also park in this Residents Car Park.
You must re-enter the village from the south side (via Martock or Stembridge).
Please note: You will not be able to access the Residents Parking from the north side (Muchelney/Thorney) once the roads are closed.
