The event is placed on the iconic Westbury White Horse site, with a large event field. The site of the White Horse Soapbox is on an Iron age Hill Fort, an early example of Historical Engineering. The ridged defences would have protected the round houses, granaries and stores of inhabitants 2,000 years ago.
Taxi drop off point at the top of the hill is currently under discussion. We will have more information on taxi drop offs in the coming weeks.
