Parking
Public Car Parking is available surrounding The Parkhouse, The Castle, Bude Library, The Falcon Hotel and Ebbingford Manor. For venues in the town centre, it would be a short walk from the public car park. All the public car parks have paid meters, but are owned by different companies and councils, so prices will vary.
Bude Tourist Information Centre has collated this information, so please visit the site.Â

Unfortunately we are unable to offer refunds on tickets once purchased. However, if for some unforeseen circumstance, the event is cancelled, we shall refund the ticket cost in full (excluding any booking fees paid if applicable).
Toilets
Toilets, including disabled facilities will be available at The Castle (use these toilets for events at The Bandstand, Bude Light and Bude Library) and The Parkhouse Centre. There are additional public toilets at Bude Tourist Information Centre and Summerleaze Beach car park.
