Please email tickets@shaldonfestival.co.uk or telephone Joyce Gillespie on 07811 758936 in advance of your visit if you need help with letting someone alight at the church and/or need seating space for a wheelchair.

Venue
All evening concerts are held at St Peter’s Church, Bridge Road, Shaldon TQ14 0BD, with doors open from 6.15pm. There will be a bar in the adjoining Victoria Hall (open from 6.30pm) for pre-concert and interval drinks. Please ensure you are in your seats in good time for a prompt 7.30pm start. The interval will be clearly signalled, and the concerts will end by 9.30pm.
Car Parking Advice
- Long stay public car park ½ mile from the church, reached through the village or off the A379 coast road to Torquay, postcode TQ14 0HP – 381 spaces, “pay & display” during the day but free after 6.00pm. Allow 15 minutes for the walking to the Church.
- Short stay public car park, opposite the church, postcode TQ14 0BP – 48 spaces, “pay & display” subject to a short stay 5 hour limit during the day but free after 6.00pm.
- Extra parking – limited space adjoining the recreation ground reached from Ringmore Road but with easy pedestrian access to the Church along the estuary embankment. If using this area, please park “tidily” to maximise the usable space; this area is only available for parking as a special arrangement for the Festival. The gate will be opened at 6.15pm and closed 30 minutes after the end of the concert.
Getting to the recreation ground parking
The entrance to the playing field car park is off Ringmore Road.
From Shaldon Bridge, Ringmore Road is a right-hand fork immediately after the zebra crossing at the sharp 90 degree village corner, and just before the temporary traffic lights.
From Torquay, Ringmore Road is a very sharp back-on-yourself turn immediately after the temororary traffic light, and just before the zebra crossing.
After about 250 you will pass the Shipwrights Arms on the right. Take the next right after that, about 50 yards further. There is a post-box in the wall of the last house on the corner of the lane. There will be a sign for Festival Parking during the festival week.
Coming from Combeinteignhead you are already on Ringmore Road: pass the red Ringmore Towers building on your left and after about 80 yards the lane is on the left. There is a telegraph pole on the corner.
It is a small, un-named lane which gives the impression of going nowhere but stay with it and it will lead you to the back of the playing field, the gate to which will be opened at 6.15pm and closed 30 minutes after the concert. Beware parked cars in the lane!
