Camping
Camping is permitted free of charge on Alexandra Promenade. As usual please park sensibly. This is a popular venue, and space is limited, and spread out along the length of the promenade. Those of you who were at previous events will understand! Please park facing the sea, and do not block the promenade - a tourist noddy train will be operating all the time we are there, and many other wheeled vehicles eg children on bikes, as well as pedestrians need room to pass.
Park as tight as possible; do not block the steps down on to the promenade; there is a no parking zone (it is a reserved for disabled) at one end of the upper promenade, at the point where you access the promenade with vehicles. We also have the use of the lower promenade to the left of the access point.
Please keep your speed down to a minimum on arrival and departure. Remember the land train has absolute right of way.
