FAQs for Shanklin Village
Could you trade in Manor Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Shanklin Village?
Shanklin Village has its own station: Belmont station.
Can you cater for allergies?

We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
How long does set-up take?
