Walpole Park, Mattock Lane, Ealing, London, W5 Where is it? Just off Mattock Lane which runs parallel to Uxbridge Road / Ealing New Broadway. How can I get there? The best way to get there is by Public Transport. Walpole Park is less than five minutes' walk from the Uxbridge Road which runs through Ealing Town Centre. The closest tube stations are Ealing Broadway (District and Central Lines) and South Ealing (Piccadilly Line). From Ealing Broadway station there are also overland train routes from Paddington to Reading. Many buses converge in Ealing Town Centre from all directions. Major routes include 65 from the South (Richmond), 207, 427, 607 East-West routes (from Shepherd's Bush towards Uxbridge), 83 from the North (Golders Green).

Limited paid parking is available at Springbridge Road and Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre car parks, as well as behind Ealing Town Hall after 5pm weekdays and all day at weekends. However where at all possible we encourage visitors to use public transport. I'm disabled, are there any special parking arrangements for me? Yes, if you contact the Events Team at the London Borough of Ealing by email on events@ealing.gov.uk or by telephone on 020 8825 6640 they will organise for you to park on the festival site. You must display your blue badge. What other information is there for disabled people? We advise disabled customers to book their ticket by phone rather than by the internet so that you can be allocated an appropriate seat. We also offer a 2 for 1 ticket scheme whereby disabled customers can bring a PA or friend to the event for free (booking and transaction fees will apply). Again, you'll need to book your ticket by phone so that you can take part in this scheme. The event is held in a park so although there are pathways into the park, the event itself takes place on the grass. Disabled toilet facilities are provided at the event. Guide dogs can remain seated next to the customer. There is no infra red headset or loop hearing system in place in the auditorium.
