Where the truck can go in Thatcham
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Your trader pack and site rules
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
