On the day info

Accessibility

There will be a section for disabled parking near the main entrance, these spaces will be on a first come first served basis, unfortunately we are unable to reserve parking.

Anyone in a wheelchair will need to be dropped off at the accessibility entrance which will be signposted or ask one of our traffic stewards to direct you if you are unsure.
The site will be accessible for wheelchairs – at the side of the stage there will be some boarding to make a walkway laid down on the grass for wheelchairs to go onto. But please bear in mind it is a farm so some areas will have undulating terrain.

There will be a disabled toilet available and Mobiloo will be onsite – a special disability changing facility.

If you have any queries ahead of the event then please contact us on 01304 610448 or email fundraising@marthatrust.org.uk

COVID-19 Welfare Information

Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you:

* have any symptoms of COVID-19, and have a high temperature or you do not feel well enough to go to work or do your normal activities
* have tested positive for COVID-19 – this means it’s very likely you have the virus

In line with this guidance, we would ask you not to attend the event if you either have COVID-19 or are displaying symptoms of COVID-19. We will be more than happy to refund any ticket holders who are unable to attend due to the above.
