Have a great day out at Maindee Festival!

The Festival is on Saturday July 4th 2009.

PARADE: The parade starts at midday from Newport Rugby Club and makes its way along Corporation Road, Harrow Road, Rugby Road and Eton Road before finishing at Maindee Primary School at around 12.45pm. If you are frail or need to be near a loo, then you can watch the parade go by Community House in Eton Road. The friendly helpers at Community House can provide you with a chair and you will be able to use the disabled loo inside their building.

SITE EVENTS: Festival site events start at 1.00pm in the grounds of Maindee Primary School, 108 Corporation Road and finish at 7.30pm. The event is suitable for people of all abilities. The site is level throughout. Most of the main site is on grass, but the access routes are all on hard surfaces. An outdoor disabled Portaloo is available. An indoor disabled toilet is also available on request.

DISABLED PARKING: All parking on site required a permit. You can get a parking permit on request by contacting us at info@maindee.org or by phoning 01633 762155. Do not arrive by car and expect to park on site without a permit! To access the site by car you or your driver should use Rodney Road (behind Rugby Club). There is no vehicle access to the site from Corporation Road.

HELP ON SITE: If you need any particular help on site, for example if you are blind and would like an elbow guide, we can provide you with a helper during your visit. It would help us if you could contact us in advance at info@maindee.org or by phoning 01633 762155 to let us know when you plan to arrive so that a helper can be ready to meet you at an agreed point.

AFTER PARTY: This year’s after party is in TJs on Clarence Place. Tickets are £5. Doors open at 9. Late finish. Level access with a small step at front door. We can provide a helper for the after party. Please contact us as above to discuss your requirements.
