The Barn comes to life with our annual Medieval Day and other community events. We also take part in Heritage Open Days, allowing everyone to step back in time, explore local traditions, and enjoy shared experiences. More than a venue, it’s a welcoming space to gather, celebrate, and create lasting memories with family and friends.

🚗Travelling to the event 🚗
Here are some FAQs to help you plan your journey to Winterbourne Medieval Day:
🚗 Where can I park?
There will be free parking at Winterbourne Academy’s main car park (Winterbourne High Street) for this event. This is 5 minutes away from The Barn site.
There will be a free minibus shuttle service from The Academy to The Barn throughout the event on a continuous loop.
🎟️Do I need to book a parking space?
Standard parking and the shuttle bus do not need to be booked in advance. Just follow the instructions of our friendly parking volunteers.
If you require accessible parking (ie. for wheelchair access) then please advise this in the relevant section on your booking form.
🧑🦽➡️Is the minibus wheelchair accessible?
Sadly the minibuses cannot accommodate wheelchairs. You can book wheelchair accessible parking at the time of booking and a space will be available for you in our small on-site car park.
Or you can arrange for drop off and collection at The Barn site if you prefer.
👶Can I fit my buggy on the minibus?
Fold up standard pushchairs will fit on the minibuses, but you may need to wait until there is one with appropriate space as the busses do not have boot space and all walkways and doors on the bus will need to be kept clear at all times. Our friendly parking volunteers and minibus drivers can advise you on this.
🚫Is there anywhere I cannot park?
The Barn has a very small on-site car park which must be kept clear for staff and pre-booked accessible parking.
Please do not park along Church Lane as this is very narrow and must be kept clear for resident, emergency vehicle and the shuttle bus access.
🚲What if I’m not driving?
We have bicycle parking at The Barn site.
There is space at The Barn site for drop off and collection or local buses run with a stop on Church Road (Parkside Avenue) just a few minute’s walk from Winterbourne Academy. You can then jump on the shuttle from there to The Barn site.
👫Although The Academy’s car park is large, if you come at a very busy time there is a chance it may be full. To help make sure we can welcome anyone who wants to come we encourage car sharing wherever possible to help us reduce the number of cars at this event and thank you for your support with this.
