i want to drive to the festival each day and back so im scared of parkin in the festival and then not getting my car out!
is there anywere around the festival like little lanes or streets that is poosible to park and leave the car...walk in and walk out and get in the car and go?
or what would be a better idea?

Yeah, park here for £10 but why don't you just park at V? you'll be fine. Even if it pisses down the ground wil be ok.

You won't get boxed in either! Don't worry. cnuts might try and make you pay twice though. tell them to piss off or drive off.

I've gone to v at Weston for last 6 years and left the site each night with no problems at all

When you go in the stewards put you in a row of cars and make sure there is plenty of space to get in and out of. Just make a note of where you are parked and you will be fine. Even in the muddy year in 2009 there was no problem getting in and out.

Only thing to consider is which route to take going out -Normally they put you on the A5 heading towards Wolverhampton, but if you need to head towards Telford you can sometimes persuade them to let you head in that direction instead

You definately won't get blocked in but be prepared for a wait to get out of the parking field each night.

Hmm...don't know how others say there is no problem - it can literally take hours to queue to get out, especially on Sunday night.  There is a farm right opposite on the A5 - can't remember it's name but has a board outside advertising parking - park there, they are really friendly and it's the same price as official and MUCH easier to get out of.

You could try asking the people who live opposite Weston Park if you could use their drive and pay them  :)
