PARKING and MEETING POINT

Furnace Wood, Vann Road, Fernhurst, West Sussex, GU27 3NJ

As I haven't visited the site I can't provide any more parking information other than the above address at the moment. However, this is a big event and I am sure it will be clearly signposted once we are there.

I will provide my phone number to all attendees prior to the event in case the meeting point isnt clear.

Car parking is in a field so if wet wellies or walking boots are required. The path to various demonstrations and the furnace site may be slightly muddy but has a hard base. Minor trip hazards may be apparent.
Meet in the car park.

There is a £2 attendance fee to assist with the cost of running the group.
Please pay at the meeting point.
Thank you.
