Car Parking

There is plenty of well-signposted car parking adjacent to the festival site. 
​

Or even better - cycle and park right by the gate

Rockhampton is only a couple of miles from Thornbury.  If you live nearby.why not leave the car at home, jump on your bike and cycle up the quiet lanes to the festival.   You can park bikes right by the gate and enjoy the afternoon feeling good about being environmentally friendly and enjoy the beer without having to worry about driving home.
​

Food and Drink

We like to support local providers offering top-notch food and drink at reasonable prices.  

As the festival opens there will be the renowned home-made cakes and tea from the ladies of the village.  

Top notch food from the Cotswolds will be available - more details to come soon.

Low Beer Miles!   We will be serving beer that has been brewed at our local CAMRA Pub of the Year, The Salutation at Ham, as well as cider and soft drinks.

Our licence does not allow you to bring your own alcohol on to the site.
​

Accessibility

We want our festival to be inclusive and welcoming to all.  The level grass field is suitable for wheelchair users, although it is a rural location and the field is a bit bumpy in places.  We can reserve a few car parking spaces right by the field for those with reduced mobility, please contact us if you'd like to use one. 
​

Weather

The festival will go ahead whatever the weather.  There are some limited covered seating areas available but if it looks like rain, bring waterproofs and wellies.  We will make every effort to carry out the programme as advertised but we may need to change the acts or timings in the event of very bad weather.
​

Sun shelters

Our festival field is quite small and we want everybody to be able to see the stage so we’d prefer rugs and folding chairs.  We also have marquee space around the edges where you can sit in the shade or take a break from the sun.  That said, if you need to put up a small sun shelter that’s OK but we would ask you to keep it to the rear or sides of the audience space so as not to block the view to the stage
​​

Refunds

Tickets are non-refundable.  In the extremely unlikely event that the festival is cancelled there will be no refunds.  
​

Dogs

Please leave your dog at home; they are not allowed on the festival site.  ​Guide dogs are welcome of course.
