How do I get to Carnival?

Parking in the area is very limited and visitors are advised to arrive by public transport or on foot. The 2, 3, 3A, 36 and 48 buses, which normally serve Chapeltown, are still running but will be re-routed via Scott Hall Road.

What can't I bring?

Although no items are explicitly forbidden, you're recommended not to wear high-heeled footwear and the organisers advise against bringing prams and pushchairs, as these can be difficult to manoeuvre through the crowds. Not all food and drink stalls accept card payments, so bringing cash is advised. Anti-social items such as flares and fireworks will be confiscated by police.
