Travel Advice
We would ALWAYS recommend, where possible, travelling to the Carnival by foot.
Access for foot traffic will be via Myddleton Lane (Leisure Centre & Park entrances) & via Faringdon Road only. Please note that there will be no access via The Swan/Premier Inn car park.
Please be aware there is, sadly, no ATM in the village and, currently, no contactless/card payments accepted on the gate which remain cash only.
If travelling by foot is not possible or practical there is a regular bus (No.19 Warrington – Culcheth – Leigh & vice-versa) run by Warrington’s Own Buses which stops on Myddleton Lane in the village.
From Warrington Bus Interchange at 12.02 and 14.02
From Leigh Bus Station at 12.54 & 14.54
There is NO public car parking onsite on the day due to the safety of everyone walking around the field being prioritised.
Please be aware that Myddleton Lane will, undoubtedly, be very busy and we do not recommend parking there. If you MUST park on a residential street please ensure you are not blocking any entrances or causing a hazard to residents and/or other drivers!
There is a small car park situated alongside the St Oswald’s Church accessed via Church Walk though this is not owned by the Carnival and may be in use/full on the day.
The car park at The Swan/Premier Inn is privately owned and you may be charged for parking there, please be aware that none of that money goes towards the Carnival.
Winwick Carnival are not responsible or liable for any damage to vehicles offsite.

In response to your feedback, we are also pleased to announce that we can now accept card payments at the gate (no cashback). To accommodate this request, each gate will be equipped with a standalone SumUp pad for convenient contactless payments. Please bear with us as we navigate this new payment system, and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this learning curve.
We are thrilled to welcome you to this year's carnival and look forward to a day of joy, laughter, and community spirit.

Join us on our stall at this year’s Carnival to learn more about the bloody 1648 Battle Of Winwick which took place not far from this site.
It’s our aim to protect, promote, preserve and enhance the area where this very important battle took place on August 16, 1648.
It’s our aspiration to have a battlefield monument erected which would act as a focal point for visitors to the site.
Come over and learn what we do, how we do research , how we encourage & promote battlefield archaeology ... and maybe even join us??
