The Neighbours
We are very privileged to be able to use Myrtle Park and we would like to continue to do so year after year. We need your help to keep the local community happy. Please ensure you leave the site quietly. Do not leave litter in the streets. Observe the parking restrictions around the site and do not park in the resident parking areas. Apart from causing an annoyance to the residents you will be issued with a parking fine and towed away.

Be mindful of your litter! Bins are provided at food stands and on exit so please help keep Myrtle Park tidy. Bring plastic bags with you to put your rubbish into and then find the nearest bin or leave it at the bins on exit.
Recycling
Please be conscious of our environment. Drinks from the bar are served in paper cups. Help keep the site clear of litter by returning cups to the recycle point where the bar will refund you 20p per cup. More information on recycling issues
