Armed Forces weekend road closures and where to park

PARKING SPACES EXPECTED TO FILL UP QUICKLY

AS North East Lincolnshire’s annual Armed Forces Weekend returns to full strength this year post-pandemic, hundreds of thousands of people are expected to come together.

Armed Forces Weekend, the largest free event to be held along the whole of the east coast, is a thrilling mix of static and aerial displays and fun attractions for all the family.

Displays, parades, and activities will stretch from the pier to the leisure centre.

There will be involvement by the three services and other military associations, including veterans, over the course of the weekend and with so many things to watch and do, people will be trying to get as close to all the action as possible. Many Cleethorpes roads will be out of bounds for motorists for at least parts of, or the whole of, the weekend.

Car parking will be available at the following locations:
