The location for our Winter wonderland adventure is a permanent site that allows you to camp for a weekend. It is not possible to have an event which incurs a cost for accommodation so the event is only for the hours and location shown below.
It is expected that many people will take advantage of the location and join us to camp out over the Friday and or Saturday nights. If you plan to stay, you need to make your own bookings. It could be a help to advise the organizers when you post your “Will attend” for the event that you will be camping. It is understood that if you are staying over you will provide for yourself.
