How the day runs

Drop-off follows the published arrangements. A one-way system runs on the Saturday. Cars must use the designated drop-off point in Badminton Village, approaching from the south or west, not the north or through the Park; otherwise they cannot leave until after 14:00. Every car needs a parking pass. While you are inside, the chauffeur waits nearby and is ready when you are. After the last of the day, it is about an hour and 31 minutes back to The Abbey Hotel.
