For people with pushchairs we would like to advise that some of the aisles are narrow and therefore we will not be able to allow entry for double buggies.

At busy times, the organisers reserve the right to restrict entry with pushchairs. Great Northern Events NW Ltd accepts no responsibility for loss, theft or damage to property left in the buggy park.
