SITE ENTRY

Admission will be by pre-bought ticket only (book here) and valid for the time stated on ticket.

The site is level throughout.

Stalls

The majority of stalls are canvas gazebos with counters at table height (75cms) and stall holders will be happy to serve from the front of the stall.

Demonstration Stage

The demo stage is high to enable visibility above the audience, but the prep and cooking areas are covered by TV cameras allowing a good view of the demonstration from overhead screens.  Festival staff are available to help people with disabilities and can provide space at the front of the audience.

The festival leaflet will show the location of toilets that are open during the festival.
