Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Plenty of parking on site - just watch for the height barrier

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 25/10/2020. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

Having visited this site when it was “the” Festival Garden for that year (1984) I am so pleased to still see it being used as a site for the public.

Unlike the Welsh one (Ebbw Vale) which is now mostly a designer shopping outlet.

Back in the day, I did my best to visit all the festival gardens when they were actually the FG for that year. The only one I didn’t get to was the Stoke on Trent one in '86.

Nice images.

Thanks @stubbyd.

I also visited the site back in the day, and I thought it was really well done. The Council looked after it for a time - even took my wife (then girlfriend) to see Chris De Burgh in the amphitheater there (bit of a guilty pleasure really). Since then, the park deteriorated and became overgrown.

It was renovated and re-opened around 2011 in a smaller footprint. Disappointingly it seems to be slipping back again. A real shame
