CAR PARKING 2018
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 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).
