ACCESSIBILITY AND GROUNDS ———————-
With significant rain in the days prior to the event, the grounds are currently quite wet. We do have lots of sunshine and wind which should hopefully dry this out further, however please keep this in mind for accessibility needs. A reminder that parking is approx 600m from the entry gates to the event, and across a bare grassed field, so please review our accessibility guide to determine this is appropriate for your needs. (See image at bottom of this page)
