Unfortunately due to the recent heavy rain the fields are too wet to allow cars in. Even with the dry weather forecast on Boxing Day it will not be enough and heavy rain is due most of Wednesday.

We will try and find another date in the new year but the long term forecast for the next few weeks is more rain!
