There'll also be a jumping castle, fairy floss, snow cones, face painting, sumo suit wrestling and lots of other fun activities for children, as well as raffles, food, non-alcoholic drinks and market stalls for adults. Free camping will also be available on site but no dogs are allowed, and no bad behaviour will be tolerated. Pre-booked tickets can be obtained online for $20, but they'll be $30 at the gate today.
