There are 'various road closures' planned for the event. Over in West Sussex[5], the A283 at Northchapel, near Petworth, is partially blocked because of an oil spillage. An AA report read: "Partially blocked and delays due to oil spillage on A283 both ways from Shillinglee Road to Valentines Lea."

In East Grinstead, Wilderwick Road is reportedly partly blocked both ways 'due to a fallen tree' near South Lodge House.
