“Most of us have been stuck indoors for the last four months, watching in desperation as our summer holiday and festival plans have been cancelled one after the other,” said Popup Picnic’s Toby Darvill.
“It’s been truly heartbreaking and we’re on a rescue mission to change all that with Popup Picnics, drag everyone out of the doldrums and get us all back where we belong this summer – in a field on a farm, enjoying great food, belly laughs and loads of fun with friends and family.
“Of course, we will be implementing strict social distancing measures to ensure the safety of all of our guests, including the two-metre safe zones around each bubble, an abundance of free hand sanitiser stations, contactless payment, clearly marked one-way routes, contact details will be taken to allow for track and trace if necessary and we will have staff on hand to ensure that social distancing etiquette is understood and followed.”
Early (1100-1630), Late (17:00-22:30) and All Day tickets can be purchased here for £19, £36.50 and £42 respectively (plus booking fees). Individual session passed can also be booked from just £7.00 per person.
A limited number of free tickets will be made available for NHS workers and children under three years old. Tickets include free parking and a dedicated bubble for ticket holders and their family and friends to sit back, relax and enjoy the live entertainment in a safe environment.
