IMPORTANT UPDATE

Given the forecast high temperatures, this year’s event will not include the donkeys or the dog show. We’ve made this decision purely for the welfare and comfort of the animals — and we know you’ll agree that keeping them happy comes first. But the event is absolutely still ON, and it’s going to be brilliant.

Come prepared for the weather and have a great time
