FAQs for Cox Green
Can the van park in Ockwells Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Cox Green close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
