‼️Check out our maps showing all the entrance points and facilities, best driving routes and car parks (there will be a post detailing this information soon!)‼️
ℹ️Wheelchair accessibility to the park is as normal. Entry via Cowie bridge entrance into Mineralwell Park is easiest as it allows smoother access and is ramped.
⚠️Take care on the site as some areas of ground are uneven/slippy.⚠️
💧☔️The park is usually pretty wet at this time of year: wellies recommended!
‼️Please don't enter from the railway viaduct paths as these will be unlit: go to the Baird Terrace entrance.✅
‼️The entrance from the Glebe is closed.‼️
🚙 Info for DRIVERS… read on…
Traffic is usually very heavy for the event – buses and trains are running. Bus stops are right next to the park and the train station is only 10mins walk away. A great way to avoid sitting in traffic!
🏘️ Folk from Stonehaven – please walk if you can!
ℹ️Traffic is heaviest at finish time. Don’t all rush out of the park at once, you will probably get stuck in a queue! Chill out, watch the bonfire or go to the funfair for a bit.
When leaving town there is usually a queue up to the traffic light at the AWPR – sorry we didn’t put it there! Please consider alternative routes out of town – they all get you to the dual carriageway – see our helpful map.
All council car parks are FREE and available at Market Square, Mackie Academy, Viewmount, Railway Station, Leisure Centre & Community Education Centre. There is general street parking available but PLEASE park considerately (and legally). Stonehaven is a small place – you can walk across it pretty quickly – why not park further away, have a leisurely wander down to Mineralwell and skip some of the traffic.
Belmont Brae will be closed to vehicles 5pm-8pm to allow pedestrians to use it safely.
The Glenury Estate and Cowie village will be closed for fireworks visitor parking to maintain emergency vehicle access.

🎆Hope to see you all there!🎇
