Yes, a large parking area will be available. A local Tractor Club will help deliver you to the event area.
Can I bring my drone?
There will be no drone flying. Shobdon is active 24/7 and personal drones will not be able to operate due to the GPS programming with the proximity to an airfield. Any drones flying will involve the local police drone unit.

Yes. Well-behaved dogs are welcome and we appreciate some animals may need to be muzzled. Your dogs must be kept on a lead no longer than 2 metres. We respect that you tidy up after your animal.

Sadly we don't. There is a shuttle service being provided as stated. Persons with serious disabilities must make contact prior to booking a ticket. We may be able to get you closer to the event itself.

For sure! Feel free to get into the spirit and wear something 1940’s, there will be lots of people promenading in many styles of 40's dress, both military and civilian.
