So, how does Day Dance work exactly?This year everyone attending must purchase a General Admission ticket. You can either make your own way to Day Dance, or purchase an additional Transport Ticket to be picked up from and returned to a participating pub (The Highway, The Havelock, The Marion, The Moseley or The Feathers). The festival starts at 10am. At 11am the walk-way between the wineries will open and you will be able to walk between Paxton & Simon Hackett at your own leisure for the rest of the day. Please note venue capacity restrictions apply. Enjoy, be kind, and call your mother x

I bought a General Admission ticket (and I don't have a Transport ticket). Where do I enter?You will make your own way to and from Day Dance and get your ticket scanned at Simon Hackett Winery. Gates open at 10am, but you can arrive any time throughout the day. At 11am, the walk-way between Paxton Wines and Simon Hackett Winery will open and you can roam between the two at your leisure for the rest of the day. Note venue capacity restrictions apply.

I bought a Transport ticket. What time do buses leave in the morning?The first bus will be leaving from each pub at 8.45am. The last bus will be leaving from each pub at 9.30am. You will get your bus ticket and your general admission ticket scanned as you board your bus. It is HIGHLY recommended to arrive at your participating pub no later than 9am to allow time for tickets to be scanned, and wristbands to be distributed.
