Practical Tips at RWMF

Get there early - start with lunch at the festival and stay on. Bring a change of clothes as it gets really warm in the day.

Get the festival program and mark out what you want to see in the afternoons - from workshops to mini-concerts that run at the same time at different venues - you'll be running around like mad if you do not plan ahead!

Take a picnic mat or lawn chair. 

Wear something light and breezy. Temperature averages 28-32C there, and it might rain too. Be prepared!

No animals unless you're the beast!
