Dogs are welcome but please keep your dogs on a lead at all times during the event - there are picnics and food around!. BUT we hope to have some doggie ice cream available so they can have a lick of that!


Will you accept card payments?
Although, most stall holders and food vendors will have facilities to pay by card, others may not so it would be great if you can bring cash and loose change. If you need extra cash, there are cash dispensers in the high street nearby.


How green will you be at this event?
Managing rubbish
We want to try and minimise waste and recycle as much as possible, there will be bins labeled for food, tins, paper, and plastic. Please separate your rubbish!
We will also supply compostable plastic glasses.  Feel free to bring your own plastic cups or drinking bottles.


Energy use
We are trying to minimise the use of energy in the park so there will not be amplification for the music - actually they don’t really need it.


Will there be free water available?
Bottled tap water will be available to pour into your receptacle


What activities are there for children?
The Fire brigade plan to bring a Fire Engine which people can climb into and explore - as long as it is not required elsewhere!
There will be fun races for children like egg & spoon races.
The Scouts are coming with lots of fun activities, roasting marshmallows, climbing bridge and carving etc


What about the weather?
If its due to be stormy with strong rain, unfortunately we shall have to cancel the event.
If its uncertain weather, we will still be there and have a number of gazebos available
If it’s a heatwave, we shall have areas of shade under trees and gazebos and extra water for people to cool themselves with.
Hopefully, it will just be a lovely day.
