Essential Information

We have a packed weekend of entertainment for you but first some essential information.

Car Parking

There will be no parking on site during the festival. All parking on site is reserved for cricket activity that will be running alongside the festival. Given the nature of the event we would hope you are leaving the cars at home, but for those designated drivers there is local parking just a short walk away.

Checking In

When you arrive at the gates of the ground you will need to present a copy of your tickets for scanning. Then you will be given your glass, wrist bands and programme. We do ask that you wear your wrist band at all times while attending the event.

Dogs

Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times.

Banned Items

Bag searches will be in place at the entry point. You will not be able to enter the festival site with the following items:

• Alcohol
• Food (except for babies)
• Horns/megaphones
• Radios or stereos
• Fireworks
• Sky lanterns
  
• Illegal substances
• Drones
• Knives or blades
• Laser pens
• Glass items

We are allowing

• Small amount of snacks for the children
• Baby food
• Small amount of pop or water for children or dogs
• Camping chairs

Cricket Games

There will be cricket activity on all days, There will be a cordoned area for the cricket games and we ask that spectators do not enter this area during the game. Also be aware that during the game we do have a net up in some areas but there is still potential for cricket balls to enter the crowd. This is particularly the case on the Saturday when the 1st IX play as the ball is hit harder and further. Please remain vigilant at all times. When the game has come to an end we will remove the barrier.

Payments

All payments should be made by card. The festival is a cashless venue.

Poor Weather

There is a chance of some rain over the course of the weekend. We have large marquee which will hold everyone if required, plus the clubhouse, so don’t let the weather forecast put you off.

Finally, we look forward to welcoming you all over the weekend. We hope you have a great time. 

See you soon!!
