Toilets

A public toilet is available onsite but it's 500m NW of the event car park / assembly, when approaching from Stoke-sub-Hamdon.

Open from dawn to dusk.

To avoid the 1km round trip and walking through the competition area, these are best accessed by car when entering the country park and when leaving.
