Quiet hour from 11am - 12noon (Sat and Sun)

New for 2026, a quiet hour will be introduced from 11am–12 noon each day, 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 this hour there are pre-bookable activities including on the water and roller disco, you can also enjoy Punch and Judy shows, the funfair will be open, operating without music and stalls will be open.
