The village will be open from 2pm to 6pm on Friday, then on Saturday and Sunday from 10am-6pm. 





PS: We're off to the Electric Picnic, so there will be no updates until we have dried off our tents or soothed our sunburn (hopefully, the latter!). Normal updates and email replies will resume from the 8th of September. Thanks!
