Please purchase a Saturday entry ticket, this will help us afford all the great live entertainment on offer from 4pm to 11.30pm.

There is a day ticket, which you can purchase if you're not sure how long you will stay and don't wish to camp.

In any case, its a great space to organise a group/family catch up, with lots of covered spaces, natural shade and room to spread out.

The big 'Lower Belford silly season soiree', will feature live music, market stalls, kids activities, family portraits, a visit from the big guy, food and beverages and fun friendly times.

For this day you have the option to book the following;

Camping:
Please pre-book your stay with us if you would like to camp the night. Its best to just book the two nights Friday and Saturday and save all the hassle of having to do anything. It'll be a quality hang this one.

There is a ticket option for +15 and under 15 and children under 6 are free.

Due to the recent change in programming, we have extended the window for family portraits to allow for Sunday morning 9-11am, if you are unable to make the Saturday evening 4-8pm.

The set looks best with 10 people max, but if you'd like a big family pic we'll smoosh you all in. Limited spaces per hour, we're booking in hour time slots - so please turn up within your hour (first in best dressed) to get your happy snap.
