We advise if you use PO17 6EB which will direct you to the village, however as you get closer please follow event parking signs.
Gold Car Park users will have the post code of their car park printed on their tickets.
Parking for disabled Blue Badge holders is in the car park in front of the D-Day Memorial Hall with additional spaces in the Southwick Park car parks outside the main gate. Registered carers go free on production of their carers ID.
The general public car park is a grass field adjacent to the B2177 Southwick By-Pass. It is a distance of 500 m from half way across the field to the centre of the village. Babies/children’s buggies will be fine but wheelchairs with adults aboard would be hard going.
Disabled parking on hard surface with paved access is available (see above) and is not restricted to Blue Badge holders. We just ask those who don’t need it not to take up space in these parking areas.
We invite owners to bring age appropriate (Pre 1945) vehicles to line and decorate the roadside of High Street and West Street, to help commemorate Southwick Revival taking place on the 8th and 9th of June.
HOWEVER, if you wished to get these prime parking spaces, it is on a first come first served basis and cars must in place by 9am, and not removed until 5pm.
We are expecting significant footfall for the event and to ensure guests safety we will have very limited vehicle movements during the event.
