Plan Your Visit
What to wear
There are no rules, and we don’t have a black tie policy. Wear what makes you feel good, but do check the weather in advance and if you need a little inspiration, look no further than our festival sponsor, Jigsaw!
Parking
Free parking is available at the cricket pitch opposite our main gates. There will be a team of stewards and porters on hand to help.
Access for events
We have accessible toilets, and we also have a buggy available to help audience members across the site. Please get in touch before your visit, so our team can help.
Hospitality packages & private dining
From company away-days to client entertaining and children’s parties, we have a range of flexible options available for hosting large groups. To find out more about our hospitality packages, please email: [email protected]
Hearing loops
Both The Theatre and Spiegeltent will have hearing loops installed. The loop will run round the perimeter of both spaces which means that users should be able to access this from anywhere within the auditorium, though we find they generally like to sit centrally and towards the front.
