Car Parking & Access to site

Space in the main Walton Firs car park will be reserved for the Band, the Mayor and other VIPs and for disabled parking.  Leaders and helpers arriving early with equipment will be able to unload but may then be asked to move their vehicle to the Horse Field.

All participants are advised to arrive / drop their children off between 1:00 and 1:30pm ready for the parade to start promptly at 2:00pm.

All participants are asked to enter Convent Lane from Seven Hills Road entrance gate and to follow the instructions of marshals to a car park or drop-off zone.  On leaving drivers should exit Convent Lane at the Portsmouth Road, Cobham end to reduce congestion and delays.

Children being dropped off will be guided and monitored safely up to Walton Firs by marshals on duty


What happens if it rains

As we are at an outdoor centre, there is not a huge amount we can do if the weather looks bad. We do have some shelter arranged, but depending on the weather, we may or may not be able to run activities. in case we are unable to run activities, we will advise the leaders of this and they can let you know to collect your scout early
