Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to secure a good spot for your picnic blanket or chairs, especially if bringing a gazebo (which must be pre-booked).
- Purchase tickets in advance online to take advantage of lower prices and guarantee entry, as prices increase closer to the date and may be more expensive on the day.
- Consider using public transport or carpooling, as parking is limited and costs extra, to help reduce congestion around the venue.
