PARKING RESTRICTIONS AT WESTON
Campsites for the Weston Beach Race, which this year takes place on the weekend of 9-11 October, are filling up fast, with the exclusive platinum campsite already sold out.
There are spaces still available on the Airfield campsite, which is located on the outskirts of Weston-super-Mare approximately one mile from the beach race event site.
The Airfield camping area features running water, showers, toilets and 24-hour security. There will also be food outlets on the site for those that want to take a break from cooking over the weekend. A bus service will also be available to shuttle spectators between the campsite and the Beach Race event site.
Camping and parking is limited on Weston-super-Mare seafront this year, as ongoing work on the sea defences mean that large areas of the seafront are now cordoned off and parking is prohibited. The area between the town centre and the beach race event site, which in previous years has been used for parking camper vans by some visitors, is one area that has been affected by the sea defence work.
Camping on the Airfield campsite is priced at £45.00 per pitch, which includes access for four adults. Children under 12 are free, with additional adults charged at £5.00 per person.

"The platinum campsite has filled up quite quickly this year, but we've still space available on the Airfield site. I know a lot of people have parked their campers on the seafront in recent years, but they won't be able to do that this year for reasons beyond our control. A large part of the seafront has been cordoned off because of the ongoing work on the sea defences around Weston-super-Mare. Parking space is at a premium around the town centre and the event site, so I'd recommend to anyone bringing a camper to book onto the airfield campsite as soon as possible to avoid disappointment."
