There's a CF parked in my drive

Village fete day. Parking's a nightmare. Come back from my food shop to find some CF has parked on my drive. So I parked across my drive (dropped kerb but no double yellows or white driveway signs) to put my shopping away. Nearest proper parking is going to be a 5-10 min walk away I reckon - it's heaving! No specific AIBU but I know you lot love a parking drama.
Can I leave my car infront of the driveway and head out to the fete? It would block the car in ... but there's no note, no blue badge etc ... can I get a parking fine?
My DH thinks we should park properly and walk back in but tbh im enraged someone parked on my drive!!!

Well you shouldn’t block them in, but I probably would.

Have a lovely time at the fete! For hours!

I dont know about the legality of blocking a car on your own drive, but I would do exactly what you have done and give zero fucks about it. I'd probably have a beer or two at the fete so I was over the limit to move my car.

A diagram is mandatory 😬

Go out. All day. And all evening. Have a ball.

Chreky fuckers

I’ll be annoyed with you if you don’t leave your car there 😂

I’d block them in and go out. It would be worth the risk of a fine to me to be honest
