Camping guidelines

  • Camping tickets must be purchased in advance and will not be available on the day of the festival.
  • The camp site opens at 6pm on Friday 1st July, and must be clear by 1pm on Sunday 3rd July.
  • On arrival, please follow the signs to the campsite entrance you will be asked to show your tickets or PayPal receipt.
  • Wristbands will be issued at the campsite entrance from 6-10pm on Friday and 9am-1pm on Saturday.  After that, please pick up your wristbands from the main festival entrance after pitching your tent.
  • Part of the campsite will be designated as ‘Family Camping’ for those with children who prefer a quieter area.
  • Campervans will be directed to the campervan area, which is adjacent to the campsite. Campervans are not permitted to park on the campsite.
  • SIA registered security staff will patrol the campsite both during the festival and on both nights, but please don’t leave valuables unattended at any time.
  • You will be asked to pitch your tent in the marked lanes.
  • Once unloaded vehicles must be parked in the adjacent Campers’ Car Park.
  • At peak periods campers may be asked to park in the Campers’ Car Park and walk their tents etc to the adjacent campsite.
  • Campers must attach the Camping wristband to a prominent place on their tent or campervan.
  • Breakfasts will be available on Sunday morning on the campsite and the Village shop is open on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9.00am until 12.00 midday.

 

  • From Car Park to camping spot:  In common with all other major festivals and in order to comply with our Health and Safety regulations, all vehicles and tents will be separated. At the discretion of the site steward you may be allowed to unload your vehicle at your designated or chosen pitch but the vehicle MUST be removed to the designated car parking area for the camping site after this.  Site Stewards and security will enforce this requirement.  N.B In the event of large numbers of vehicles arriving at the same time it may not be safe or practical to allow vehicle entry into the camping field. The campsite layout is designed specifically so that you should be able to park within a reasonable distance of your camping spot, but please bear in mind that the actual distance cannot be absolutely guaranteed.
  • Pitches: Please be considerate when pitching your tent. The site will be marked to denote camping lanes and fire corridors. Please pitch your tent either side of the clearly marked camping lanes.  For fire safety reasons and to retain a degree of privacy please leave a 3 metre gap between yourselves and the adjoining tent.
  • Toilets There will be portable toilets available on the camping site and on the festival site. Please report any problems to the festival HQ or any Steward.
  • Showers: None provided.
  • Water: There will be drinking water points on the campsite. We recommend that you bring supplies of bottled drinking water with you for convenience.
  • Power: There are no power points available in the camping area. Generator powered lighting will be provided around the toilet block(s). Please bring a torch!
  • Fires: Because of the risk of fires spreading and damage to grazing on this working farm, OPEN FIRES ARE BANNED everywhere on site. One small purpose made barbecue may be used as long as it is raised off the ground on a purpose-built stand and does not damage the grass. No accelerants (flammable liquids) may be used to light barbecues.  A bucket of water or fire extinguisher must be close at hand and no barbecue may be left unattended until extinguished. Gas cylinders for gas cookers must be stored safely.
  • Animals: No animals except guide dogs are permitted on the camping or festival site.
  • Noise: No sound systems, amplified music, stereos or drums are allowed on site. Those who disregard this regulation will have their equipment confiscated or be asked to leave the site. A family/quiet area will be designated within the camping field. Please keep noise to a minimum in all areas and respect the festival’s neighbours and fellow campers.
  • Waste disposal: Please use the bins provided. The site is a working farm and litter/waste poses a hazard to livestock and wildlife.
  • Security:  A site Steward and/or SIA licensed security contractor will be based at the camping site at all times. Please do not leave valuables in your tent or vehicle. Your property is left in the camping area at your own risk. The festival also has a community police officer presence. If you are in possession of illegal substances you may be arrested.
  • Glass/Alcohol: No glass bottles are allowed on any part of the festival site, including the camping area. You may bring a personal supply of alcohol with you into the camping area (cans or decanted into plastic bottles, please), but you will not be able to bring it into the festival site. However, please note that the festival management has the right to refuse entry to the festival site on the grounds of unruly behaviour or apparent severe intoxication.
  • Children: Do not leave children unattended in the camping area.
  • Campervans: There is a separate area for campervans and caravans adjacent to the main campsite.
  • We reserve the right to ask those who do not comply with these requirements to leave the festival or camping site.
