Organisers highly recommend using the Park & Ride facility, which operates from Rugby Avenue, Coleraine to Ballywillan Road (Mill Strand Primary School). This runs on Saturday 8am – 10pm and Sunday 8am – 7pm.

To assist the smooth operation of the Park & Ride facility, there will be restrictions put in place on the Gateside Road/Ballywillian Road but freedom of movement will be allowed for emergency services, Council vehicles, residents and carers/home help.

There will be stewards at Ballymacrea junction, Girona Avenue, Parker Avenue, Crocknamack Road and just after Loughanhill Industrial Estate.

There will be no road closures in place, however, do allow extra time for any journey you may be making due to the expected increase in traffic on the roads around the Triangle area.
