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 cupĀ for just Ā£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.
