FAQs & Practicalities

Do routes work in bad weather?

We include alternates with covered links and firmer paths. Conditions can shift during the day.

Are timings exact?

They’re indicative and help you pace a day. Queues, talks, and demos often move around.

Can I bring kids or a buggy?

Family notes mark gentler gradients, wider gates, and quieter corners for rests when needed.

How do I ask stallholders about allergens?

Keep it simple: ask for ingredient lists and serving tools used. Many stalls keep clear labels.

Will every stall be open?

Programmes can change with weather or stock. Treat our notes as a calm starting point.
