From 11:00 AM, background music will be played at a low volume to ease into the day. Live performances begin at 12:00 PM, at which point sound levels will increase to performance volume.
We understand that some visitors may experience noise sensitivity. Please be aware that volume levels peak during live band sets, especially those featuring drumkits. While we strive to create an inclusive and enjoyable experience for everyone, the park layout and technical sound requirements do mean higher volume levels are necessary during performances to ensure clear and quality audio.
We recommend wearing noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs if you’re sensitive to sound.
