Tickets

Frequently asked questions

Is there parking?

Yes. Pay & display parking is available at North Promenade Car Park (North Promenade, St Anne's, FY8 2LZ.). The car park accepts cash and card payments.

I'm in the car park, but I don't see anyone here. Can you help?

1. Please check you are in the right place. Many people confuse North Prom & North Beach car parks. Check you are NOT at North BEACH Car Park. You should be at North PROM car park which is close to the pier. 2. Please walk up to the dunes opposite the Glendower hotel. Look for our flag and gazebo!

What should I wear?

Suitable clothing for walking outdoors in the predicted weather (don't forget your coat and waterproofs if it's going to be wet and your sun cream/hat if it's going to be sunny!) We recommend bringing your wellies!

Are there toilets?

Toilet facilities are located on North Promenade Car Park. The toilets are owned by Danfo & require 40p to access. The toilets accept cash or card payments. Please bring a method of payment should you wish to use the facilities.
