Wood fires are permitted but must be appropriately contained e.g. within a metal BBQ.

Important Safety Information

There is a car park available, but vehicles must not go onto the field. In previous years, a limited number of wheelbarrows were available for unloading camping equipment from cars.

There will be a designated area for the campfire. In previous years, people have enjoyed toasting marshmallows on the fire. Please be aware that you are responsible for supervising your child at the campfire.
