Top tips
- Arrive early to grab a good spot before the crowds build up.
- Bring cash as stalls and rides rarely take cards at carnivals.
- Pack a pushchair for little ones; the park has plenty of open space.
- Bring sunscreen and a rain layer, British summer weather is unpredictable.
- Toilets can get busy mid-afternoon, so plan ahead with young children.
