Mid Devon District Council is offering free parking in Cullompton to support the town’s upcoming Spring Festival this April.

Drivers will be able to park for free in Station Road Car Park all day on Saturday, 11 April. The Council is keen to encourage visitors to the town and Members are looking forward to supporting the popular event.

Cullompton Town Council is also offering free parking at St Andrews Car Park on Saturday, 11 April.

Councillor James Buczkowski, District Councillor for St Andrews, Cullompton said:

"The town’s Autumn Festival was a great event and now, with a bit of sunshine in the air, I am sure the Spring Fest will be equally successful. This event highlights the thriving community spirit in the town and it will be great to see so many people enjoying the town centre, supporting our local businesses and independent traders, and watching many local groups perform.”

Councillor John Downes, Cabinet Member for Governance, Finance and Risk, said:

“Supporting our local economies is a key priority for this council and we are keen to encourage more footfall in our towns through free car parking. We want to show people what Cullompton has to offer and this free parking helps towards spending in shops, cafés, and market stalls, keeping our high streets alive for our communities to enjoy.”

The event runs from 10am - 2pm at various locations in the town centre and includes free activities for children including a drop-in circus skills workshop, Lego corner, jewellery making, music, majorette performances and more.

Further details about the Spring Festival are available on Facebook and also via Visit Mid Devon.

During the day members of the Cullompton Town Centre Relief Road project team will also be on hand to answer any questions about upcoming works to deliver the new road. The team, from Devon County Council and WSP, which is delivering the road, will be available from 10am to 2pm at Cullompton Community Centre.
