The Folowing information applies to the festival which took place on 30 May - 1 June 2008. Check back for information regarding the 2009 festival coming soon.

All weekend tickets include camping (live in vehicles see below).

Day ticket holders may camp overnight, but must leave by midday the following day.

Only ticket holders may camp.

The campsite is located on 'centre course'.  It is a very short walk from here to the Festival Village.

On arrival, you will be allowed to drive on several perimeter roads around the camping areas, close to where you would like to pitch your tent. Cars must then be removed to the car park.

Cars left on the campsite roads or firebreaks will be removed by security.

Please note, arrangements may change in inclement weather, follow guidelines by stewards on arrival.

You will need to exchange your ticket for your wristband before arriving at the campsite.

If you are being dropped off by someone who is not attending the festival, enter by the box office on foot.
Gates open at midday on Friday 30th May. Please do not arrive before this time.

Anyone arriving before Friday will have to find alternative accommodation.

The latest you will be able to stay on the campsite is midday on Monday 2nd June.

Day ticket holder camping is only available on the night of your ticket until midday the following day. Not the night before the day your ticket is valid for.

When pitching your tent please allow 3m between you and the nearest tent.

No open fires are allowed anywhere in the campsite.

Disposable/gas BBQs are allowed provided they are raised off the ground. The heat from the BBQ damages the grass below meaning it is unable to grow back. Gas camping stoves are prefered.

Please make sure any cooking equipment is raised off the ground and in good working order.

The campsite will be divided into 4 separate areas. There will be an area for those with disabilities, family area for those with children, Quiet for people who like an early night and a quieter atmosphere and a general area for everyone else.

Guests with special requirements are asked to email the office with your needs. Where possible we will try to accommodate them.

No stereos or drums on the campsite, please consider your neighbours.

Please do not leave valuables, wallets or money in your tent, and look after your possessions over night. This is a family community so please get to know and watch out for your neighbours.

Sorry, no pets on site except for Guide Dogs. (This includes workers, contractors and guests.)

There are a number of facilities on the campsite including regularly serviced toilets, showers and water points. There will also be a café to get hot food and drinks and we expect to have a shop on site for those last minute essentials. The security tent is manned 24 hours, and campers should go there for information or for help.

For those who like to bring the comforts of home with them: campervans, caravans and any other type of live in vehicle are welcome. Please note campervans will be placed in a separate area to tents. This is due to fire regulations. If you bring a campervan and also have a tent, your tent must be pitched in one of the camping areas not in the campervan area. Caravans can go with tents in any camping area, please make sure the hitch is facing out towards the road way or firebreak.

Live in vehicles need a pass to gain access. Your pass will be issued at the box office when you pick up your wristbands. Passes are £25, which can be purchased along your tickets.

Of course there are full campsite facilities such as showers and toilets.

All our Tipis and Yurts are handcrafted and installed to a high standard. The structures are complete with frames, canvas covers and flooring. This year we are providing all our Tipis with rain catchers and waterproof groundsheets.
