There's only one bar (I think) - hopefully some outdoor seating.
Last years, fun was curtailed and the bar closed early due to next doors 'bare knuckled boxing bout' and the expected clientele post fight . . .

Looks to be nothing on this year.
 
Gotta ask the question: seems like it could be the first day it has rained in weeks according to latest forecast. Is there water available to fill a bucket and give the car a wipe over? It could be I’m doing 150 miles on wet and dirty roads and want my car to look its best. Well, at least clean.
 
There are a few hand car washes close by (according to Google Maps) one of which is in a Tesco carpark. You could always get some waterless wash from Halfords - Example and some microfibres
 
I can't make it this year unfortunately, but can vouch for what a great event it was last year.

I hope everyone has a great time and may your journeys there and back be swift, enjoyable, safe, and without prosecution.

When you login to your account there’s some symbols on the left. Think the 3rd out of 4 is the car pass.

It’s an awful website.
