PLEASE remember it is a dressing space and there will be children in a state of undress……. Our media wall will be in an area that will be ok for photos.
Please be advised that there is no coffee, tea or hot chocolate in change areas due to performers getting changed and spillage. Parents NO staying in the changing space and chatting… it is get in and get out.

ARRIVAL

We try to run to time as much as we can and if your performer or troupes are not there we will continue as per order, please note times can change due to acts not showing up.
