How do I get there and is there free parking?

Visitors are advised to use Hargham Road, just off the A11, to access the site, but are warned not to use the emergency route as it is no access and will likely cause delays.

Instead, follow the signs on-site to their free parking section.

They also urge people to avoid travelling through Attleborough which is likely to become congested. 

What will there be to eat and drink?

The airfield's Food Village provides refreshments for attendees and includes the Attack and Destroy bar and pub, Dann's ice cream, doughnuts, and more.
