We’ve had a few questions about parking arrangements for Stockbridge Trout ’n’ About 2026 (on Sunday, August 2)…

So here’s a quick guide to help you plan your visit.

As everyone knows, Stockbridge has one road in and one road out, so our biggest piece of advice is simple: Arrive early!

The High Street will be closed from 8am to 5pm. ⛔️

There will be two car parks on the day, one at each end of town. 🅿️

Both have a single entrance – so please be patient. 😊

The car parks will be clearly signposted. They are…

🚗 Car Park East, by Old London Road, off the A30

📍 What3Words: ///cries.locked.solids

There will be a shuttle service, from this car park to the High Street, run by the fabulous King Alfred buses.

♿ Disabled parking for Blue Badge holders on the east side of town will be at the doctors’ surgery on New Street

📍 What3Words: ///magazine.modes.genius

🚗 Car Park West is at Danebury School, off the A30

📍 What3Words ///quest.wheat.zeal

There is a five-minute walk into town.

♿ Disabled parking for Blue Badge holders on the west of town will be opposite Danebury School, off the A30

📍 What3Words: barn.shock.replenish

There will be a shuttle minibus service to the High Street, for disabled people, run by our friends from Embley School.

Both main car parks will include clearly marked drop-off zones near their entrances.

This year’s parking charge will be £10 per vehicle, which is in line with other Hampshire fairs of a similar size.

Trout ‘n’ About is a non-profit organisation. Every penny we make goes to good causes in and around Stockbridge.

Last year we gave £10,000 to local schools, churches, playgrounds, allotments and other community groups.

This year we hope to give even more.

And remember… Trout ’n’ About is run entirely by volunteers. If you’d like to help us stage this great community event, we’d love to hear from you.

Just send us a message if you have any questions.

Thank you for your support – and we look forward to welcoming you on August 2 😎

This summer we will be celebrating 20 years of Hampshire’s favourite food, drink and craft festival! 🐟✨

What started in 2007 with a handful of stalls on one side of Stockbridge High Street has grown into one of the premier food and drink fairs in this part of England.

We have…

📍 More than 150 incredible local traders
📍 More than 10,000 visitors every year
📍 A traffic-free High Street packed with food, crafts, music and community spirit
📍 Festival Field entertainment for all ages
📍 A fair that is run entirely by local volunteers

From brewers to bakers, blacksmiths to florists, jewellers to butchers… T‘n’A is a true celebration of the best food, drink and craftsmanship Hampshire has to offer. 🍻🧀🥖🌿

And every visit helps support local good causes. Since 2012, T‘n’A has donated more than £70,000 to local schools, charities, churches and community groups ❤️

We’ll be donating another £10,000 this year.

And for our 20th anniversary year, we’re making your visit even easier with new parking and payment facilities to help everyone enjoy the day smoothly.
