When can I set up my tent?

The campsite will be open from 12pm on Friday 20th June.  Please make sure to register with the NUA team before you set up. You will be allocated a camping spot and receive a number to attach to your tent or caravan. We would like to have the campsite cleared by 6pm on Sunday 22nd June.
