New for 2026, a quiet hour will be introduced from 10am–11am, welcoming people with a disability, neurodiverse conditions, carers and parents/guardians.
This hour offers a calmer environment with reduced noise and gentler activity levels. This new feature aims to make the event more inclusive and comfortable for those who prefer a slower pace.
To support this, capacity during Quiet Hour will be reduced and entry will operate on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
During Quiet Hour:
- All stalls will remain open
- Vintage tractor display
- Ride-on tractors
- Soil pit and sensory play with Little Learners
- Creative workshops with Mrs Maker (potato printing, eco crafts)
- Golden spud treasure hunt
We kindly ask attendees to consider whether this session is the right fit for them, helping to preserve a calm experience for those who need it most.
After this quiet hour, the event will officially open at 11am with a fun-filled programme running through to 5pm.
A note for dog owners:
While Quiet Hour offers a calmer environment, the site becomes very busy and noisy once the main event opens and throughout the day. For this reason, we do not recommend bringing dogs. Trained assistance dogs are welcome.
If you do choose to attend with your dog, they must remain on a short lead at all times. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs and disposing of waste in the appropriate bins.
Everyone is welcome, come enjoy the event at your own pace!
Please note: there will be a quiet area available throughout the event, please ask a member of event staff who will bring you to the area.
