THE SERIOUS BIT
Entry to FairFest is FREE all weekend. All we ask is that you enjoy the music and purchase your food and drink from the lovely local vendors inside the festival.
No food or drink can be brought into the festival site. Thank you for your co-operation.
The Children's bouncy castle can be used with a wristband. These can be purchased from the festival and cost £4 per child for one day, or £6 per child for the whole weekend.
There may be charges/donations requested for other activities and these will be clearly displayed at the festival.
We're aiming for a 'zero single-use plastic' festival - you can help by purchasing a limited edition reusable FairFest cup for just £1. Bring it with you each day and refill it throughout the festival. Bring your FairFest cup from previous years and reuse it. Please note, all refills are full price. Cups provided by HappyCups.
All information about the festival will be published here and/or on our Facebook page as soon as it becomes available, but if you need any more details or would like to speak to the organisers please contact us.
