Friday Hill questions

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Contact us with the date.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
