Important Advisory
Notes: Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times – some of the roads around the Village Green will hopefully be closed for safety reasons but there will still be cars around some areas.
Parking will be very restricted to those visitors coming from further afield, so could you please avoid parking on Hilton Village Green and be considerate to our local residents – please walk if possible, drop off chairs and picnic requirements prior to the event and arrange to park on friends’ drives if at all possible. Parking attendants/advisors will be on duty on Sunday 5th June.
Some elements of the weekend may change and timings may alter and we will try and keep everyone updated as much as we can with information available on our village website - www.hilton-village.com, Facebook and village noticeboards.
