VEHICLE ENTRY
Entry with your Swedish vehicle was from 10am – 2pm.
Visitors were advised to print or download their ticket (as signal can be limited on site) and have them ready to be scanned on arrival.
We ask participants not to arrive early for our rallies as no facilities will be open prior to 10am.
Cars cannot leave and re-enter the grounds for the Simply rallies.
COMING WITH FRIENDS
Those wishing to park up alongside their friends needed to arrive together as we are unable to reserve adjacent spaces for later arrivals. As we capture advance vehicle information, we do ask that you make separate orders for persons attending in different vehicles where possible.
Bring the club!
Volvo Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire were accepting club bookings. Those wishing to reserve an area for their club to park together within the event were asked to get in touch with the club here.

Driving in the New Forest
We are very lucky to be located in the heart of the New Forest however this does offer up some unique hazards on the roads.
Please drive carefully and responsibly when attending our events and be aware of free-roaming animals and cyclists on the roads. Due to the close proximity of our neighbours, please be respectful when entering and leaving the event.
