Food & Drink

There will be a selection of food stalls as well as champagne bars, real ale bars and cocktail bars on the ground. As always, you are welcome to bring your own drinks on the day.

This year there will also be a fully stocked cash bar serving draught beer and cider, wine, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks!

We will be operating a strict Challenge 25 Rule on the day.

What time will the gates open?

The gates will be open from 11:30am with music from around 1pm. Unlike previous years, we have been advised for safety and congestion reasons to keep the car park closed all day on Saturday 5th September 2026. No re-entry after 6pm.

I've booked a gazebo, when can I pitch it?

If you have booked a gazebo pitch, you can pitch it anytime between 9.30am and 8pm on Friday 4th September, but it NEEDS to be pitched on the Friday there will be no opportunity to do it on the Saturday as with previous years. Don’t forget your gazebo pitch number as you will need it to ensure you are in the right place. The maximum size of a gazebo is 3m by 3m. No fires or barbecues please.

How much are tickets?

Ticket prices are very similar to 2025 as we always strive to make this an affordable family event. Due to working in partnership with Ticket Tailor, to make the ticketing process as seamless as possible a 6% fee will be charged per ticket at checkout. Don’t forget to get your under 18s tickets when you buy your adult tickets, they cannot be bought separately at a later date!
