Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to secure a good spot for the 5:30 PM lights switch-on ceremony, especially if you want a clear view from under the bandstand.
- Check back closer to the date for more specific details on performers and market vendors, as the event organizers mention 'Check back here for more details later in the year!'.
- Consider using public transport or the provided SatNav postcode (PO14 9SA) for the Civic Offices, as parking information is available but town centre parking can be busy during popular events.
- Bring cash for the outdoor market and funfair rides, as not all vendors may accept card payments.
