Event village / campground / local area
Whilst you are here why not check out ‘what’s on’ in the local town or hang out at the event village, and check out the stalls, facilities and kids entertainment. We have a caterer on site serving breakfast lunch, dinner, drinks and snacks supported by the guys from Café2You with the coffee van.
If you should need pre or post sports massage than make your way over to the guys from the Extreme Sports Therapy Unit – they will not charge for their services but as they are a self-funding unit, they do rely on donations.
