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.
No Dogs
Please leave 4-legged friends at home. Guide dogs are welcome of course.
