Travelling to Lymington
Your safety and enjoyment is of paramount importance to us and to encourage people not to drive into town during the weekend, we have organised a Park & Ride service with buses every half hour from Brockenhurst College and The Wightlink Overflow Car Park. We have also been working with the wonderful people at South West Trains who are providing a themed service from Brockenhurst to Lymington called 'The Dream Train' where characters from each of the themes will join you on your journey into town and you will be able to buy special commemorative tickets on the platforms. (Make sure you check the platform number of course!)
The parking in Lymington is limited at the best of times and to avoid disappointment we really urge you to use public transport especially on Saturday during the market when the town can get extremely busy indeed and there is every possibility you will not be able to park in the town centre at all or be stuck in the car with very frustrated kids for ages. There will be Stewards, Marshalls, Medical Staff and Security personnel throughout the town in addition to the core services and they will be able to guide you to appropriate parking facilities away from the centre but please see below for more information and downloadable maps before you set off.
