Today is the day!

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you all tonight at 'Pop Up Down The Paddock 2'.

Please remember, this is a ticketed event. Please do not attend without a ticket. Staff will scan you in at the gate, so please have your tickets downloaded on your phone or printed so we can scan the QR code. Don't forget to keep checking the event link as tickets do keep popping up and at present, the waiting list still has space.

The sun will set around 7.30pm so please bring your blankets and coats, so you can enjoy the music and food without getting too chilly.

There is no parking at the event. Please make arrangements for pick up/drop offs away from the site - we suggest London Road, if you're not coming by foot.

Vendors take cash or card payments - however it seems to be in a bit of a black spot for some networks so please bear this in mind.

We can't wait to see you all!

Good Morning! 2 days to go!

We have received an overwhelmingly positive response to our second event which is awesome!

Many people have asked whether there is a waiting list for tickets that become available if others cancel.

We have now created a very small waiting list of 25 spaces if you wish to register to be notified when tickets become free - they will then be allocated to you via an email notification, with a 4 hour time frame to accept them. This will now stay in place until 30 minutes before the event start time.

TO ANYONE THAT HAS TICKETS, THAT CANNOT ATTEND, PLEASE HEAD TO EVENTBRITE TO CANCEL THEM. IF YOU ONLY WANT TO CANCEL 1 OR 2 TICKETS FROM A LARGER ORDER, THEN PLEASE EMAIL [email protected] WITH YOUR DETAILS AND BOOKING NUMBERS AND WE CAN MANUALLY EDIT YOUR ORDER.

Thanks again for your continued support to our community event. We can't wait to see you all....and don't forget your hats and sunscreen - it's going to be HOT!

Don’t worry if you didn’t manage to get Oasis tickets today!

We have the next best thing at our event on Friday night Down the Paddock - Godmanchester with George Elliott!

(That’s if you managed to snaffle a ticket in time 🤞🏽)

We also have Sonia's Airbrush Tattoos making an appearance again as well as some bouncy castles from St Ives Bouncy Castle and Soft Play Hire for the children that have now been confirmed.

See you Friday!

Only 11 days until our next event, so we just wanted to share some more details…

As you may have noticed, the 450 free tickets sold out within 3 days which is incredible, but we are also aware that there are lots of people that are disappointed they didn’t have chance to get one in time. As they were free, it may be the case that on the day, some people that have tickets, may not end up attending. If you think this might happen, then please go onto Eventbrite and simply cancel your whole order, it will then release tickets for someone else. If you need to cancel just 1 or 2 tickets off a larger order, then please contact us by email [email protected] with your name and order number and we can manually edit the order for you to reflect the change. Please remember it is for the local community and if you can’t use a ticket you have, make it available for others 😊

Vendors Confirmed:

The The Lazy Mare will be providing an event sized bar this time with both cash and card lanes. They serve a fully stocked bar along with draught on tap.

Pizza Mondo will be with us again, serving their tasty homemade fresh pizzas – they do provide the option on their page to order your pizza from your phone by selecting the event you are attending!

Banjaraa will also be with us for a second time with their delicious twisted Indian cuisine – Chicken Keema Naan is amazing!

Hemingford Bakes are a fantastic new local business that will be providing us with the much needed hot drink offer, as well as tasty cakes and sweet treats.

Collette’s Crêpes are also returning with their beautiful sweet or savory crepes and waffles that were a big hit last time!

Franks Ices will be coming too, an ice cream legend having been in the business since 1958 and serving traditional ice creams.

Also, food is available from our huge BBQ grill serving burgers, pork belly, chips, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options available.

George Elliott will be providing our live music this time around – The Voice Kids Finalist UK 2020 and a local rising star, so please give him all your support by following his page as well!

We will also have a DJ playing Ibiza Chill in between George’s two live sets.

Due to the popularity of the straw bale play area/football pitch this will be returning as well as garden games.

Once again, seating will be limited, so feel free to bring your own camping chairs, picnic blankets, umbrellas, torches etc - but please NO gazebos.

As a community event supporting local businesses and charities, we will be supporting The Waterfowl Sanctuary - they are neighbors of The Paddock on Silver Street. They offer rescue, rehabilitation and life sanctuary to waterfowl such as injured swans, geese and ducks. Please see their very informative page for more information on the great work they do locally and beyond The Waterfowl Sanctuary. At the event there will be collection buckets if you would like to donate to this good cause.

We can't wait to see you again!

Hello Godmanchester and beyond!

Due to the huge success of our last event, we want to control numbers for the next 'Pop Up' - Down the Paddock, to make sure the evening is as safe as possible for our attendees.

With this in mind, we have introduced a ticket system, which is of course, still free! However, it will allow us to understand how many people are likely to attend. Please follow the link below to register to come to the event. Each person that wishes to attend, whether that's a child or adult, will need a ticket (dog's don't need a ticket though!)

This is a family friendly community event for Godmanchester residents and beyond.

Please register to secure your place.

We can't wait to see you all again!
