Don't wait – book your tickets now!

It is expected that we will start harvest of our event fields from mid-July, however, exact dates depend on the weather between now and then. It is recommended that you book EARLIER in the season, rather than risking it until later in the season. Please note, our events are only bookable up to 10 days in advance, through until we harvest. So, for example, if you wish to attend on 12th July, tickets for those events will open on 2nd July. Set yourself a reminder!
