This is a night-time show in an unlit park. Our guides will be able to show viewers by torchlight to the best viewing spots. However much of the site is grass and a little uneven, so we recommend that those who need assistance advise our guides on arrival and they will direct you along the best route.
If you would prefer to sit down, please bring your own chair.
There is plenty of street parking close to the Lions Park.
The organising Committee will cordon off two disabled parking spaces at the entry to the Park for use by anyone displaying a Disabled Parking Permit in their vehicle.
There are public toilets directly across the road.
There may be food and beverage vans from time to time during the show season. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram to find out if there will be any on the night you are attending the show.
