Parking for cars
No parking is allowed in the park itself (other than for officials and prior-notified blue badge holders).
As for the last two years, we are operating a ‘park and ride’ system for this year’s event from 3 or 4 alternative car parking facilities. Unlike last year, when you purchase a car park ticket, you will be allocated a space in a specific car park. This should avoid anyone finding that a car park is full, and having to be diverted to an alternative car park.
There will be a £5 charge for parking, which should be paid online, in advance, using the link on the Sportsoft website, which will be open at least 3 weeks before race day. You will receive a receipt which will serve as your entry ticket, and which will have your registration number displayed in bold for easy reading by security staff, and it will also bear the letter pertaining to the car park in which you have been allocated a space. Please have this available either on a mobile device, or as hard copy, when you enter the car park – THE PERMIT CAN ONLY BE USED AT THE DESIGNATED CAR PARK. There will be limited access available to pay on the day, but this will be by card only, at a cost of £10, and this will only be available at the Ransomwood car park.
The car parks which will be in use are as follows:
Adhering to the Parking system is critical to the ongoing future of the event. These arrangements are made in collaboration with local residents and Mansfield District Council, and the ECCA have worked hard to get to this position. Considerate parking is a condition of our future use of the park for this event.
