CAR PARKING 2024
Concerns have been raised regarding parking in the village hall car park on Paxfest day. Passes will now be issued for village hall car parking spaces with each pass having an allocated parking space- this will be mainly for entertainers and musicians for the event.
Stallholders will be issued with a field lay out prior to accessing the field to reduce traffic queues on the High Street. This will ensure a quicker access onto the field.
Stallholders will be issued with a pass to park on the QEII Playing field.
There will be NO public parking in the village hall car park.
The Paxfest Committee would like to encourage residents to leave their cars at home and walk/cycle or scoot to the event.
If you are visiting Little Paxton for Paxfest, please park on streets near the High Street (not on street corners).

The Rookery PE19 6QT & St.James Road PE19 6QW are ideal parking locations for disabled parking for Paxfest. There is a ramp at the The Rookery for easy access which leads to the QEII Playing Field.
