That's normal at the auctions I attend - have to park miles away and walk!

Nearby roads are yellow lined, probably because there's been previous problems with indiscriminate parking on sale days.

Best to get out and fetch your car before the end of the sale so that you can (hopefully) grab one of the few spaces at the venue itself before everyone else does the same for loading up your goods (if you've bought anything, that is). It often involves going in one entrance and back out again and round the block until a space becomes available. Recently, a particular 'pest' has regularly been parking a large van right in the isle to load up, completely blocking the car park, for an hour sometimes, and it's a one way system. The auction staff ought to sort him out, people have been getting very irate!
