Travel on the Day
By Car
If you are planning to drive to Mayfest, be aware that there will be a number of road closures in the area as a lot of the action takes place on the streets of Callington. B&M Car park (New road South) is normally open. New road (North) May be closed. (I will edit this when the traffic order becomes live)
Free parking is available in the Town Councils Free cark park on Saltash road.
By Bus
The normal drop off location in new road will be closed as this is in the centre of one of the road closures. Bus’s will instead stop at Saltash road opposite the primary school running on their normal scheduled timetable.
