	Plan your day. A festival map and timetable for the weekend can be found here. We have some fantastic guests and activities for kids, don’t miss them! We will also have programmes you can pick up on entry.

	If you are visiting with young children we have wristbands available on entry for you to write your phone number on. We advise taking the time to fill one out and put on your child in case they get lost.  If you lose a child please head immediately to the Public Address unit in our main field close to the carousal or notify any member of the team with a radio.
	Visit Gin School – At Gin School, our GINstructors will take your palate on a ginspirational journey of understanding flavour profiles of drinks and how to perfectly pair them. Expect to explore your senses, learn about the art of mixology and meet the experts who make their own drinks. We recommend purchasing in advance to avoid disappointment. Use the ‘Already Ordered Tickets’ feature here to purchase.
	Cookery School for Kids is located in the main field – Book Early sessions are for kids 6+ and allocated on a first come first served basis. These sessions book up quickly.  Session includes wheat & dairy products. Click here for the schedule

	Well behaved dogs are allowed. We have plenty of water points around the site for our four legged friends. Please make sure any mess is taken care of and please respect our traders and visitors when walking around with dogs.  NO dogs allowed in the Cookery Theatre or Cookery School for Kids.

We have taken measures for Safety – Previous visitors to the event may remember our large indoor trader marquee. For safety this year we have removed the marquee, all traders will be in their individual gazebos placed outside, allowing wider aisles and space for distancing and air flow. We are outside, government guidelines suggest the wearing of masks is a personal choice. Hand sanitiser will be available throughout the site. We have implemented additional cleaning across the weekend and ask that you help by using the bins provided for all rubbish and waste please.
