No, but Vivary Park is a very short walk from the Orchard multi-storey, and the High Street car park. Note that, although advertised hours of operation for Sundays currently show as closing late afternoon, they will remain open for the full duration of our event, until well after it ends. Alternatively, click here for a bigger list of car parks within a decent stroll of Vivary Park.
A.
The main railway station is on the mainline from London, Scotland, the North, and the South-West, which means that taking the train couldn’t be simpler! Our station is a leisurely 15-minute walk to Vivary Park.
If you’re taking a coach, the drop-off point for most services is right in the middle of town, about five minutes’ walk to Vivary Park. Services from companies like Megabus usually stop on the outskirts of town which means a longer walk, perhaps as much as 45 minutes, so do consider that when making travel arrangements. On the other hand, if you’re being dropped off by car, we’d recommend getting out of your ride somewhere you can do so without holding up traffic, because Vivary Park’s main gates are located directly on the A38, which is a busy route at the park’s location. Take guidance from your driver or chauffeur! If you’re flying, Bristol airport is around 45 miles away, and Exeter airport 35 miles away. Refer to those airport websites for onward public transport information.
