Information for Visitors (FAQS)

Entry to the event is free and although there is no charge for parking we do ask for donations to support the care here at Wakefield Hospice. The park and surrounding roads will be very busy so please do try to walk to the park, car-share or use public transport where you can. Horbury is a small town so car parking may not be readily accessible.

The car park can be accessed via the park gates on Sunroyd Hill (What Three Words: ///label.instincts.yell)

There is also limited disabled parking spaces available in the park.

Entry to the park on foot is available through any of the usual park entries.
 

Programmes are available free of charge from the Wakefield Hospice stall and from a number of volunteers located within the park, although donations are welcome and greatly appreciated. The programme has a timetable of events and a show layout.

Alternatively, an online version of the Programme will be shared via our website and on our social media pages/event page once completed.
 

You are welcome to bring your own food or enjoy a wide selection of food and drink from our outlets. They are serving everything from burgers and pizzas to a Pint of Beer, Prosecco or a latte.

Unfortunately, there is no drinking water on site. Please bring your own water or purchase it from the food outlets. Cold drinks will be available for purchase and some stalls will have dog water bowls available.

Please do not bring glass bottles or jars into the park.

Please remember to bring adequate drinking water, especially if it is going to be a very hot and sunny day.
Some of the market stalls and most of the food outlets can take electronic payments. There will be some small community group / charity stalls that can only take cash.
 

Dogs are more than welcome but must be kept on a lead. Please do not leave your dog unaccompanied at any time and especially not in a vehicle. Please remember to bring poo bags and to clean up after your dog – and don’t forget to bring some water for your dog.
 

There are a number of accessible toilets near the tennis courts in the park. These are cleaned and managed by a specialist contractor.
 

If you bring anything with you into the park, please take it away with you when you leave. We are providing wheely bins for rubbish but please ensure you do not leave any rubbish behind.
 

Please note that this is an outdoor event with not much shade or shelter. We recommend you bring an umbrella if rain is forecast.

In sunny conditions, please remember to bring sunglasses, sunscreen and sun hats, and if bringing a dog please consider the impact of the weather.
 

The flying of drones for any purpose is not allowed during the Show. Doing so is in breach of WMDC policy and Show policies and in previous years, the RAF Memorial Flight have specifically asked to prevent this occurring. It is also dangerous for the Birds of Prey – so please do not do so.
