There will be more bicycle parking at Havelet, the Bus Terminus, the Bordage, North Beach and the White Rock, ‘Park and Stride’ locations available, with buses running a standard Saturday service, including night buses, for free.

Car drivers can park at Sir Charles Frossard House, The Ladies’ College, Lukis House or both Admiral Park and Rohais Waitrose locations and walk in.

The sea front will be closed all day from the Weighbridge roundabout to the Slaughterhouse roundabout. Weighbridge roundabout will also be closed from 10.45am as the parade passes through and for a short time before 3pm for the arrival of the cavalcade.

Fountain Street will also be closed all day and La Vallette will be closed from 10am for the set-up of the fireworks display.

The taxi rank at the Weighbridge roundabout will operate as normal. To allow for road closures, taxis will also run temporarily from The Albany and the end of Castle Emplacement, with the Town Church Square.

Parking suspensions will be put in place on Crown and Albert Pier from Wednesday 6 May until Monday 11 May to allow for the build of infrastructure for the day.
