Road closures

The road closures will start at 11:30 a.m. and will run until approximately 2:00 p.m. Marshalls will be stationed at each of the entries into Duxford village (Hunts Road, Grange Road, Moorfield Road, Ickleton Road and Hinxton Road) and will use their discretion if you can proceed. We will not allow any cars into the race areas whilst the races are operational. You can use our route maps to see the extent of the route.

Parking in Duxford

If you are travelling from further afield for our event then you will probably need to park-up. Dedicated derby car parking is available from Welch’s Transport, Moorfield Rd, Duxford, CB22 4PS (//instilled.syndicate.household).

Additional disabled parking spaces are available at the Duxford Community Centre, Hunts Rd, Duxford, CB22 4RE (///oaks.recorders.coaching) but these are on a first come first served basis.

Limited bike parking is also available at the community centre.

Those who are closer to home

Please try to keep your cars off the race route. Competitors have been instructed to avoid collisions at all costs but accidents happen. Please help us by moving your car to a side-street during the event. Please see our route maps to see if this year’s derby will go by your home.
