Can I bring my drone?
There will be no drone flying. Sleap FRZ is active 24/7 and personal drones will not be able to operate due to the
GPS programming with the proximity to an airfield. Any drones flying will involve the local police drone unit.

Yes, not a problem. However no alcohol can be brought or consumed on any area of the event arena areas. Security will be there for your safety and performing bag searches.

We request you respect the venue and there will be clearly displayed smoking zones for your pleasure.
Can dogs attend this event?
Yes. well-behaved dogs are welcome and we appreciate some animals may need to be muzzled. Your dogs must be kept on a lead no longer than 2 metres. We respect that you tidy up after your animal.
I'd like to bring someone with poor mobility / disability issues, can you cater for them?
Absolutely. You MUST advise at the point of booing that you require 'Special Assistance' Parking where you will directed into a closer position. We're sorry but if this is not done at the point of booking you will be requested to park in standard customer parking, which may be some distance from the actual event.
Are there any mobile phone charging point services on site?
Yes. A clearly signposted secure mobile phone charging facility will be available at agreed published tariffs. Cash or card payments accepted.
Our children get bored so quickly, is there much for them to do?
We doubt they’ll get bored here, as we have so many great military items to see and don’t forget this is a ‘live’ airfield so expect planes flying in. We will also have a separate kids entertainment area to keep children of all ages entertained, with army games, and interactive displays to enjoy.
Do members of the public wear period clothes to attend?
For sure! Feel free to get into the spirit and wear something 1940’s, there will be lots of people promenading in many styles of 40's dress.
Is there camping, motorhome and caravan facilities onsite to stay?
Yes. Great news is, you can arrive from Friday mid-day and leave Monday morning if you wish. Further details will be published shortly.
Does a Saturday Day Ticket allow me entry to your 1940's Big Band Dance too?
No. The 1940's Big Band Dance is a separate ticket entry only event being held for limited amount of customers on Saturday evening. Please note, No children under 12yrs of age are allowed entry.
