Do we have to camp?
No, if you choose not to camp your wristband will allow you access on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday, however anyone leaving the site and returning the next day will be re-searched on entry.
Do I have to pay extra for camping?
Nope, it’s included as part of your ticket.
How far is it from the car park to the festival/campsite?
It will be a short walk – around 5-10 minutes (depending on where you park) from the car park to the festival entrance.
Are you allowed to bring knives for camping/food preparation?
No. Common sense will be used when your belongings are searched upon entry. We will only allow small utensils at the sole discretion of our security team.
Is there a campsite shop?
Yes! We will have a campsite shop which will stock everything a discerning camper needs. We’ll also have a campsite bar too, which will operate as an off-license.
Can I bring a gas canister for a camping stove?
Usually, the answer to this is yes, however, after a very dry summer, ground conditions are incredibly dry. Due to this, camping stoves are not permitted in any campsite this year.
Is there a restriction on tent size?
No set restriction – however please be considerate to other campers and don’t bring anything ridiculously over the top. Gazebos are not permitted.
Can I bring a generator?
For safety reasons generators (of any size) are not permitted.
Can I bring a sound system/speakers?
As a condition of us gaining our license only small portable bluetooth speakers are permitted. Large speakers and sound systems are not permitted. If you are unsure of the size of your speaker, please ask us!
Can I bring a barbecue or start a fire?
For safety reasons, no barbecues or fires are permitted in any circumstance. Anyone found starting a fire will be removed from the festival immediately. This requirement is taken very seriously due to the nature of the site and the vast surrounding woodland.
When does the campsite open and close?
On Thursday 24th August, for the General Campsite and the Sustainable Pre-Pitched Campsite, you can arrive as of 10am. For the Boutique Sanctuary, you can arrive as of 12pm (midday).
On Friday (25th), Saturday (26th) and Sunday (27th) you can arrive as of 9am and this is the same for both campsites.
Non-campers may enter the site as of 3pm on Thursday and 9am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The campsite will close at 12pm on Monday 28th August, so you’ll need to be packed up by then!
Entering the festival for the 1st time
Try not to bring too much with you! We strongly advise you to bring all of your belongings from your car to the campsite in one trip. This may not be possible for everyone, so if you do need to return to the car park, you are only permitted to do this during off-peak times over the weekend and this is at the security team’s discretion.
You are only permitted to bring your alcohol allowance when you first enter the festival site.
Anyone with a wristband will not be able to re-enter with alcohol. Please note, that you will be subject to searches upon re-entry.
Re-Entry during the weekend
No same-day re-entry is permitted. If you are leaving the festival site because you are staying off-site, you can only re-enter the festival site the following day. We understand there may be extenuating circumstances whereby you need to leave the festival site and return within the same day, and this will be at the security and gate teams’ discretion. Please speak to the security staff at the gate when leaving the festival site.
Please note, that you will be subject to searches upon re-entry.
