Question

It takes a bit longer than you would expect to get to the venue due to the dirt road leading up to the venue. Plan to arrive around 3:00-3:30 to park and get seated in time.
Question
Where should I park?
Answer
Once you drive up the long dirt driveway there is parking all around. It will be easy to spot. If there is anyone who needs a drop off right in front, feel free to drive around to the front garden to drop off and then park.
Question
Are kids welcome?

We do welcome the kiddos! Due to the hills being right at the edge of the property, do not let your kids wander by themselves outside of the venue. We also understand that you might need a weekend away :) No judgment if you don't bring them!
