Ideally leave a note or a copy of your ticket on the dashboard to avoid any confusion with attendants.
* at the time of this information the RCP website has not been updated. The machines at the carpark no longer accept cash payments.
Dogs: A number of people have asked if dogs can be brought to concerts. To save confusion we have decided that only registered assistance dogs will be allowed.
Help to access concerts/help with transport:
Would you love to come to concerts but need help with transport or mobility issues?
We have funding from the 2020 Coop Community Fund aimed at providing transport from different parts of Wensleydale using taxis and minibuses, and if there is sufficient demand a general bus service to and from concerts. If you need help please contact us and we will see what we can do to help. If you need somebody to bring you to a concert we can help by providing a free 'carer' ticket - this is aimed at people who would not otherwise buy a ticket. To discuss your particular needs please call Carol or Liz on 01969 663026.
