To help everyone stay cool, we have the following measures in place:

🌳 Shady garden space outside
🏠 Plenty of indoor space to keep cool
🎤 All acts and performances moved indoors
⛺ Gazebos available outside for stalls needing shade
🥗 CREST Café will be serving a cold menu only to help reduce heat in the building

🍦 Ice cream van on site to help keep everyone cool
