A little festive heads-up:

We love festive fancy dress and encourage you to get creative, but please don’t come dressed as Santa - we need to keep that particular role for the real star of the show! Please also note that dogs are not permitted at this event.

As part of registration, we’ll ask for an emergency contact and details of any medical conditions or additional information our event team should be aware of.
