Where to park?

Thanks to Peel Town Commissioners we have full access to the Headlands Field site. The gates will be open for parking from 10am on carnival day. Parking attendants will be on site to assist.

Follow the arrows leading you up to the Headlands Field, off Peveril Road to the left. As if you were heading to Kirk Michael via the coastal road. From here you can easily walk down to the festivities or hop on our shuttle bus that will be available throughout the day to drop you closer to our event.

Disabled parking can be found at the Harbour car park, this is located just before Fenella Beach car park.
