Car Parking

  • Thorner Resident parking can be accessed via the Green Gate – Nova Scotia Farm entrance.  Car park passes will be issued electronically around the same time but separately to tickets. 

Shuttle Bus

  • In the interests of safety, and to eliminate short, cold start, car journeys, we would ask residents to catch the free TCF shuttle bus. It’s safer and greener
  • The roads are not safe for walking, they are not lit and have no verges
  • The bus is for Thorner residents and their household guests. It will operate from the Mexborough Arms and run every 30 minutes.  Thursday from 1800 – Midnight then Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 – 0300.  
  • Pick up and drop off points are as in previous years, The Mexborough Arms, the top of Church Hill and inside Yellow Gate
  • Please be respectful at the pick up points and allow those who are there before you to get on first
  • When getting off in Thorner late at night please be quiet and respect your fellow villagers
