A few points to remember:
- You are more than welcome to bring alcohol to the festival, but remember personal alcohol must be consumed in the campsite only - not in the entertainment field. The entertainment field will provide a number of spectacular bars supplying all sorts of drinks; from cocktails, to wines and spirits and a selection of locally sourced beers, ales, and ciders, so you won’t be without a drink!" Please also remember NO glass bottles are allowed anywhere on site. All glass bottles must be decanted into plastic ones.
- For safety reasons open fires will not be allowed on site. However, we will be providing evening campfire sessions under the stars with lots of music and entertainment. Camping stoves are welcome in the campsite, but please be careful when lighting them that you're not too close to tents. The local fire authority have not authorised BBQs in the camping fields and around site please do not bring them.
- Be friendly and respectful of your tent neighbours, introduce yourself, start up a conversation, and be aware of your own noise levels. It is a good idea to bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Keep it friendly and everyone will be a happy camper.
- Most importantly, have fun, make friends with your neighbours and remember to leave the site as you found it - clean, clear and beautiful!
