DISABLED FACILITIES

The beer festival will be at the Berkhamsted Cricket Club. There is wheelchair access and a disabled toilet.


DOGS AND CHILDREN

Well behaved dogs and children are allowed at the Cricket Club. 

The comedy material is adult in nature so not at all suitable for children. Due to limited space, pushchairs will not be allowed in the marquee or club house. However, we will provide a gazebo buggy park.


CAR PARKING

There is nearby parking in the Railway Station. Please use public transport if you intend to drink alcohol; the Cricket Club is just 5 minutes walk from the station.
