General Event Parking: The University of Sussex have kindly given us permission for participants to park for free in their Jubilee multi-storey car park which is only a 10-minute walk from the event area. To access this car park, please enter University of Sussex campus via University Way or Knights Gate Road and follow signs to 'Car Park 7', which is at the end of Arts Road. Please use postcode BN1 9RG or use the what3words app to take you to the exact location (using the words ///pile.soon.broad). Once parked, follow signage and stewards' instructions to cut through into the top of Stanmer Park from the car park, as this will be much quicker than walking back along the roads!
