We often go walking at Wilvelrley Plain and we love it there. We are thinking of meeting some friends there for a birthday party for our little boy in May. Is this allowed please? Are we allowed to put up a tent or a gazebo for the afternoon to put the food in and party bags etc please? Many thanks Zara
