“ The event isn’t stage as a commercial venture, it’s about community. It is advertised as ‘Jazz on the Green’ - bring a picnic - so attendees know they are expected to supply their own sustenance for the afternoon! There has been an Ice Cream vendor for the past couple of years which also sells soft drinks, the Monken Holt pub will happily decant drinks into plastic and the High Street with various food outlets is a short stroll away.
As with many local events of this type they often become a victim of their own success, following in Glastonbury’s footsteps we will be having a fallow year in 2018 and reassessing the nature of the event for future years.
Hope this answers all of the above, apologies for very late response but I’ve only just come across this post.
