There is a limited amount of blue badge parking close to the event entrance and must be booked when buying event tickets. A blue badge will need to be shown on arrival.
A free shuttle bus service will run from the Ipswich park and ride in London Road and from Hadleigh bus station in Magdalen Road.

Shuttle buses will run every ten minutes from both pick up points and back again.
Is the event wheelchair friendly?
The shuttle buses are wheelchair friendly and drop off directly at the ticket checkpoint.
The event is all on one level with pathways across grass areas and the shop marquees have hard flooring with an access ramp at one of the entrances.
The existing main pathways through the grounds are gravel and may be difficult for some wheelchair users.
Can dogs come?
The event is dog friendly, and well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a short lead at all times.
The event may stop allowing dogs into the shopping marquees if they feel it is necessary for their comfort and safety.
