The centre-piece for festival concerts, The Ham marquee provides a comfortable seated venue, with a well-stocked Foyer Bar and dedicated toilets for concert patrons including disabled facilities. Outside the venue you’ll find the Ham Lawn which hosts the Festival Merchandise and artists’ CD stall. Circling the lawn, there is a range of tasty food and drink outlets and a bar area with picnic benches. A great area to soak up the festival atmosphere!
