What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Oving comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
