"I'm puttin' on my top hat, Tyin' up my white tie, Brushin' off my tails". It's all about top hats this week, as we have challenged our lovely volunteers to create and decorate the most marvellous toppers. If you need anything at the festival or have any questions, you will know our stewards as they'll be wearing fantastical top hats. There is a prize in it for them, so if you see a particularly spiffing headpiece at the festival, do take a photo of them and pop it on the facebook page, or just tell us at the festival office which hat you think is a winner!Programme News...

Ages 2-4Workshop bookingsAs you may have spotted above, days, times and what needs to be booked for are now up on the website, on each activity's page. If there isn't a time up it means that the event will be running throughout the weekend, and if there is no mention of booking, you can just turn up. There will be a beautifully designed comprehensive programme available at the festival.
We have tried our hardest to reduce the number of activities that need to be booked. Loads of the activities are going on all day, or are drop-in, so you can join in whenever you like, and most of the workshop activities do not need to be booked - you can just turn up at the start. If the session is already full, you might be asked to come back later.
A few workshops do need to be booked. This is specified in the programme. To book for a workshop, go to the glade where the workshop is being held at 9.30am for morning sessions, or 12.30pm for afternoon sessions and either the workshop leaders or one of our lovely festival volunteers will be there to book you in.We hope this makes the system as fair as possible!
