The car park at Wyre Council Civic Centre also will be open and free to use on the day of the event. It is a 25-minute walk from the car park to the event site. The route is fully paved with two road crossings, and is mostly flat, with one minor incline.

Can I bring my own food/drink?

While we have a fantastic selection of food and drink vendors on site offering a variety of delicious options, we understand that some children have particular tastes and preferences and therefore ticket holders may prefer to bring their own snacks, but no picnics please. We encourage you to explore the wonderful offerings from our traders and we hope you enjoy all that Wanderland has to offer!
