Community Contribution Request:

We aim to create a space of mutual thriving where the team holding the event are supported by attendees, and we invite all those onsite to take a responsible role in taking care of one another, the site and the spaces.

However, families are very welcome, and the site itself offers an incredible environment for children to explore, relax, and enjoy the experience alongside the wider event atmosphere.
