Practicalities
Residential displays have no facilities of their own — no parking, no toilets, nowhere to warm up — so it is worth knowing what is around. Within about three miles of the Parker cluster, OpenStreetMap maps 0 public car parks and 12 public toilets. There is no shortage of cafés and takeaways for a hot drink on the way round.
typically late Nov – early Jan (check before visiting) · 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM nightly
