Bank Holiday Weekend Fri 26 - Sun 28th May 2023
Gala Dinner with Live Band
​
We have a Gala Dinner on the Saturday evening which is in a nice and intermit surrounding to give it that extra special touch to your experience at our festival, the menu has a starter, main course and desert which involves a choice of vegetarian options, the Gala Dinner cannot be booked separately please note as we only have 60 spaces this will be on a first come first served basis.
​
We have added this to the festival as we know with everyone rushing around over the weekend sometimes it’s impossible to have a decent conversation with old and new friends we have just met or met at other weekend festival in an out of the UK, so this is a chance to chill, eat, drink, mingle, network and exchange ideas.
