OUR Mickleover and the Scouts will be operating a car park (with a nominal charge of £2 per vehicle) close to the event tomorrow.
Spaces are limited to a few hundred.
If you are able to walk or use public transport, please consider these options.
Public transport: If you're coming from Derby city centre, or from Burton, Stretton, Tutbury, Etwall etc, the organisers recommend taking Trent Barton LIVE buses.
From Derby, use either of the Mickleover services (Green or Blue) or jump aboard the V1 (bound for Burton).
From Burton, Stretton, Rolleston, Tutbury, Hatton, Hilton and Etwall, use the V1 headed for Derby.
The nearest stops to the action will be at The Vine (for the Mickleover Blue and V1 from Burton) on Uttoxeter Road, Tesco (on the Mickleover Green) at the top of Station Road or on the V1 from Derby on Uttoxeter Road.
To return home, the stops are located at: Vicarage Road for the Mickleover Red; The Vine for Mickleover Green or V1 to Derby; and The Square for the V1 in the direction of Burton.
For times and full details of all the routes, please see Trent Barton's website www.trentbarton.co.uk
All of these bus stops will drop you within sight of Tesco.
The water slide is located in Kipling Drive, down the hill from the supermarket.
The activities field is on the right-hand side beyond the slide. It can be accessed easily by walking across the grass.
How to find the car park:
From Hedingham Way: Turn right onto The Hollow (towards Littleover) – you will immediately see a bridge.
Pass under the bridge and, almost immediately, before you pass any houses, you will see a gateway to a single track on the left.
Take this track and it will lead to the parking area.
If approaching The Hollow from Staker Lane or Haven Baulk Lane, you will find the car park access on the right-hand side (before the overhead bridge) and after the last house on the right-hand side.
Once you have parked, you need to walk back towards the bridge, along the Hollow, turning right onto Brierfield Way.
Cross the road.
Walk past the children's centre to access the site.
You can also continue and take the left turn into Kipling Drive, which will take you to the slide itself.
The postcode of the car park, for those preferring to use Sat-Nav, is DE3 0DH.
