Useful tips for your visit

Getting there

From Moira village - why not walk to the Demesne?

Driving

AA traffic management signs as you enter the village will direct you to the entrance of Moira Demesne.

On arrival parking stewards will be on hand to ensure your parking experience is hassle free.

If you are a blue badge holder, the stewards will direct you to the appropriate area.

Improving sustainability

We are striving to reduce the impact on our environment and to keep the Demesne parkland litter free so have included a few tips and reminders:

Bring your shopping bags for your items.
Bring a cooler bag for those chilled foods purchases.
Bringing the kids? What about bringing a reusable container for any leftovers?

Keep Moira Demesne litter free

Bins will be dotted around for rubbish. Please help keep the event space and your local park a pleasant experience for all visitors by using the bins. The bins will be emptied but it is a collective responsibility to ensure rubbish is not dropped on the ground or left on tables for others to clear.
