Parking:

• Due to the expected large crowds, residents and visitors are asked to consider using public transport on the day. No railway strikes are planned for Sunday 20 August.
• For those who drive, temporary car parks at Radnor Park (CT19 5AU) and Folkestone School for Girls (CT20 3RB) will be available. Both will be open between 10am and 6.30pm and it will cost £5 to park. Only cash can be accepted so motorists are asked to remember to bring change.
• Stewards will be working throughout the day to keep disruption to local roads to a minimum. Several roads will be closed and there will be suspensions to some parking bays.
• For disabled parking, if you have a blue badge you will be directed to park in a specific area of the temporary car park which will be closer to access of the event.
