Question 1

Where do I park?

Accepted Answer

Put CT4 8DB in your Sat Nav and it should take you to the entrance of Chilham Park off the A252.  Follow signs to the car park, with the help of marshalls.  You will then need to make a short walk through the estate to the vineyard gate, which will take you to the main reception.

Question 2

Can I leave my car overnight?

Accepted Answer

Not on the estate.  Doors are locked at 9.30pm and will not be open again til Monday.  If you would like to park in a free car park that does allow overnight parking, please use Taylor Hill which is accessible from the A252, signposted Chilham Town Centre.  This car park will fill up quickly.

Question 3

How far is it from the Station?

Accepted Answer

Most people can walk the journey in 12 minutes.  There will be signage, but set your phone to take you to The Square, Chilham.  This will take you to the main entrance of the Castle.

Question 4

Can I bring my dog?

Accepted Answer

Well behaved dogs on leads are very welcome.

Question 5

Can I bring my baby in a pram?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.  It will be useful for us if you could order a free ticket for your infant when you buy tickets, just so that we know how many will be on site.

Question 6

Is there seating?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have a stretch tent with 250 seats, plus a few garden seats around the lake.  You are welcome to bring picnic chairs and blankets and set up where you like.

Question 7

Can I bring my own food and drink?

Accepted Answer

Please do not bring alcohol.  Please do bring water, which you can top up at the water station.  There will be plenty of food choice this year (last year we fell short and won't make the same mistake) so you do not need to bring food.  However, if you need to bring snacks etc, go ahead.

Question 8

Can I buy wine to take home?

Accepted Answer

Our shop in the white marquee next to the stretch tent will be selling a wide range of wines from our 9 producers.  You can buy and takeaway or order for free delivery.

Question 9

Is there local accommodation?

Accepted Answer

There is not much within walking distance.  However, Canterbury and Ashford are nearby, and have plenty of options.  If you would like a holiday let for a group, try Bloomstays.com

Question 10

I've bought tickets and now I can't attend.  What's your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

We are happy to refund (minus the booking fee) up to 28 days before the event (10th May).  However, if you feel you are facing special circumstances, please request a refund and we will consider each case separately.
