Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy a ticket? If you want to come on the Saturday, then you'll need to buy a ticket in advance. If you want to come on Sunday, you can buy a ticket in advance or you can pay on the door, but paying on the door will be a lot more expensive (£10 per person on-the-door, instead of £6 for a Sunday ticket). SO WE SUGGEST THAT YOU PLEASE BUY A TICKET IN ADVANCE.

What are the ticket prices? It's £7 for the full Saturday (10am to 4pm), £6 for the full Sunday (10am to 4pm) and £5 for an afternoon ticket (midday to 4pm). If you don't have a ticket, you won't be able to get in on the Saturday, and you'll have to pay £10 on the door on Sunday. SO WE SUGGEST THAT YOU PLEASE BUY A TICKET IN ADVANCE.

Do children go free? Yes, children under 16 go free and do not need a ticket.

Do carers go free? Yes, if you have a carer who you need to help you at the show then your carer can enter for free and does not need a ticket.

Is there disabled access? Yes, the show is completely accessible by wheelchair. There are disabled toilets (which don't require a key) and a disabled parking zone.

Do I need to bring cash? Almost all stalls take credit/debit cards and so does the cafeteria. But you'll need cash for some stalls and if you're paying for entry on the front desk. There's no cash machine at the school. The nearest cash machine is 5 mins drive along the A61 towards Leeds, at the BP petrol station.
