Tips & Advice

  • Don't park on Harpenden Lane, and walk in if you can, so traffic can keep moving in and out of the village.
  • Use the free MOT centre car park and hop on Tuk Tuk Jo's free shuttle to the market, and drop a donation to Redbourn Community Group if you can.
  • If you park on village streets, park considerately, because many have no Sunday parking restrictions and the market brings a lot of visitors.
  • Head to the Village Hall when you want a seat, because it has tables for eating the food you've picked up at the stalls.
  • Ask John Knowles for your favourite song, because his repertoire runs to nearly 2,000 songs and he welcomes requests.
