themselves by giving them a very special deal on the price of a pitch. We particularly like having the smaller charities with us. For instance every year a husband and wife raise money for a special school to have an outing and any money left over is used towards much-needed equipment. Speak to one of our team, or phone us on 07852 70 70 74.
๐บ HOW TO FIND US
You can find us on the A507 just outside of Baldock. Coming from the A1 take the second exit from the โTescoโ roundabout, follow this road to the next roundabout and then turn right. We are on the right just up the road.
๐For Sat navs use SG7 6RD which will bring you close enough to the field.

Additionally on the Friday morning, residents are often still busy finalising their creations, so if you visit before 12, then you may find that not all of our scarecrows are ready for viewing!
If you decide to just come for a drive to visit the festival, and you arenโt intending on stopping, please come and visit outside of festival hours as having people driving slowly and stopping unpredictably during festival hours is dangerous to pedestrians and other vehicles.
