Two days to go and British summer has arrived! 🌧️🎶

A few showers won't stop us. The music and fun will carry on, whatever the weather. We have extra gazebos lined up to provide some shelter, and we have emergency ponchos for only 50p!

Bring your brollies, but please keep to the back so the view isn't blocked. Rain or shine, we can’t wait! 🙌🎪🎸
