Children are most welcome at this event though they are the sole responsibility of their parents or guardians while they attend and there will be a separate area for them if required where they can take part in some supervised light-hearted environmentally-themed activities. Please let us know if there are children coming with you by selecting a child ticket when booking so we can make sure we have enough materials for them.

And there is such a thing as a free lunch the fabulous Raviolo Verde will be providing a hot lunch and refreshments to all ticket holders.
