For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.

What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Little Chart Forstal have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
