The Next Farmers Market – Sunday 4th May!

The next Farmers Market is just around the corner — join us on Sunday 4th May!

Gates open at 9am, and for safety reasons, no public vehicle access is allowed on site before then.

There is free event parking at the Ergo and Aura car parks, which is open before 9am and is only a short walk away from the market. Head to Bridgehead Way, off Boothferry Road and follow the signs. But please be considerate of our neighbours if you’re using these spaces.

If you’re local, and able to do so, why not stroll over? Bring the kids, the dog, and some friends — and enjoy the fresh air and great community vibes.

Little Hummingbird Events have taken your feedback on board — expect more food, fresh produce, and local treats!

We’ll see you there — Sunday 4th May, 9am–2pm, for another fantastic Market Day!

Friday 11th April: The East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club’s Classic Car Night returns

This Friday (11th April), the East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club‘s Classic Car Night returns to the Humber Bridge car parks for the first time in 2025!

Hundreds of classic cars will descend upon the Humber Bridge car parks to be placed on display. The event starts at 5pm and is free and open to all. 

The Main Car Park will be open as normal throughout the day, but please note that it will become busy during the event.

All spectators, please note that parking is limited due to the vintage vehicles on display. Perhaps consider car sharing, attending on foot/bicycle, or using an alternative public car park in the local area. If you do use our car park please ensure that you park responsibly.

In support of the event, the Coach Park and Wellbeing Hub Car Park will be closed from 3.30pm on the day, so try to get your vehicle out before that time, although stewards will be on site should there be an issue. But be careful when leaving as the car parks will be busy.

The west footpath from the country park will be open as normal and for your safety please stick to the designated footpaths!

High-sided and Vulnerable Vehicles Defined as Part of New Campaign

The Humber Bridge Board has released a list of vehicles that are regarded as vulnerable or high-sided and are prohibited from crossing the bridge in high winds.

The Board is publishing this list as, unfortunately, even when the bridge is closed to high-sided vehicles, a number of drivers choose to ignore the warning and guidance and continue their journey, putting themselves and other users at risk.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0or8FVhieD8&w=560&h=315]

According to Humber Bridge Chief Executive, Dr Kevin Moore, “Some people will cross because they do not realise they are driving a high-sided vehicle.”

Dr Moore said: “We understand there is some confusion around exactly what constitutes a high-sided vehicle. As a result, we have consulted with agencies such as the Road Haulage Association and Humberside Police to compile a list which will help people understand which vehicles are unsafe to cross in high winds.

“The list can be found on our website, and we will also be handing out information at the toll booths. People can also find out the details on our social media channels.”

Dr Moore added: ”Unfortunately, it appears that some drivers are fully aware that they are not supposed to cross during windy conditions but deliberately flout the rules, putting themselves and others at risk.”

The vehicles that should not cross the Humber Bridge in high winds are:

• High-sided rigid or articulated HGVs*
• Articulated tippers*
• Rigid tippers*
• Car transporters
• Abnormal loads
• Double-decker buses
• Motorhomes
• Furniture vans
• Luton vans
• Transit van-style vehicles with modifications
• Vehicles with trailers or caravans
• Motorcycles and mopeds
• Three-wheelers

*Regardless of whether empty or full

The Humber Bridge Board is also advising drivers who have roofboxes to make sure  that they are properly fastened to their cars before crossing the bridge.
