Big Top Bar
As always, the fabulous Big Top bar will be open every evening to welcome our visitors to the evening events, stocking a wide range of beers, wine and soft drinks. And for the VERY FIRST TIME, we will this year be opening for Happy Hour sessions between 4:30 and 6:00 on certain Festival days.
Discounts on drinks, to the background of some festive tunes from local musical talent, bathed (fingers crossed!) in May sunshine.
Come and join us for an early evening or pre-event beverage or brew. Down at the Big Top.

Festival Cafe
The café will be open every day of the festival until late afternoon, serving hot drinks, homemade cakes and savoury snacks. Situated next to the bar in the Big Top, why not stop by for refreshments and a chat?
