There is no need to print a copy of your ticket, but please make a note of your ticket reference (e.g. MFG5DS) to show at the front gate.

Parking is free in the grounds of the castle.

We run a system of timed entry slots to help a smooth flow around the fair. Please arrive within your booked entry slot - you are then welcome to spend as long as you like in the fair until closing time. Admittance outside of your slot is subject to availability. You can exchange your ticket for an alternative slot, or request a refund through the booking portal.
