Information point
This year will see the Bandstand transform into an Information Point; the first point of contact for any emergencies including lost children, lost property and general enquiries. It's also where the official opening ceremony takes place, with speeches from the Chair and special invited guests, cutting of the ribbon and the procession down to the Showcase Stage to launch the day.
Adjacent to the Bandstand you will be able to have a photo opportunity next to a traditional Indian “tuk-tuk” courtesy of Tubzee Ltd.
