Getting there
While the time ticks down and the excitement builds – ZA Fest organisers have suggested that festival-goers try get to the venue as early as possible to avoid queues or traffic congestion (particularly on Sunday, 16th June). Work has been done on the roads leading into the Manor House and there will be lots of bright pink signage to direct cars towards the ample parking.
There will even be a designated area for disabled parking and a drop-and-go service via golf carts for those parking in that space. Directional signage from the Salt Rock side and from the Tinley Manor side to Manor House will be clearly visible with organisers encouraging attendees to use both routes to help alleviate congestion.
What to bring (and what not)
To enhance the experience, festival-goers are encouraged to bring picnic blankets and chairs, hats and sunscreen to make the outdoor experience as pleasant as possible. There will be plenty of food and drink vendors onsite so attendees will not be allowed to bring their own food and drinks, but it’s important to note that this is a cashless venue.
So bring your cards and phones to make payment – no cash will be accepted on site for safety reasons.
