THE CONCERT SITE
Our ‘social spaces’, a grid of clearly defined picnic areas and ‘walkways’ marked directly on the grass, were a massive hit last summer so we’re keeping them. You get your own space to host your party, they make it easier to find your party if you’ve been dancing, and once it goes dark the site looks incredible.
- Select your own space on arrival – each accommodates up to 8 people (larger groups can select adjacent spaces).
- Each ‘social space’ is situated in a colour-coded zone (denoted by flags).
- Walkways will be marked with festoon lighting.

There will be various fundraising initiatives taking place on the evening, including a £2.50 donation from every programme sold, a recommended £5 donation from press and guest-list entries, as well as collection points at all entry and exit gates.
