From Thursday 25th September, major improvements on the A382 will close the road, along with Whitehills Road and Exeter Road, for around 11 months. We know this is a busy route for many of our customers.

Sparkworld is open as usual, and our hours remain the same. To help, we have created a simple video and map guide showing the best routes to reach us during the works.
