General
The Campsite opens at 10am on Thursday 19th June and closes at 2pm on Monday 24rd June. Opening times are subject to health and safety inspections and we work hard to open gates on time, but please bear with us if there are any delays.
The Car Park gates open from 0600 on Thursday 19th June.
If you're coming on a push bike we'll be setting up bike racks at Gate A5 (near Medina College) and at the front of the main car park.
Please bring a lock with you to secure your bike.
We will be entirely cashless in 2025. You can pay by card (Visa, Mastercard or Amex) or with apps such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
When coming to the Festival we do have a few rules about what you can bring in. The things you can't bring are listed here and in our T&C'S. Beyond that, bring what you need to have an enjoyable weekend...and remember, you have to carry it from your car or bus station to the campsite.
As part of our commitment to reducing plastic waste we have plenty water points around the site so we actively encourage you to bring in empty refillable drinks bottles that you can fill up & keep hydrated at all times. Please dispose of your litter responsibly. There are recycling bins and general waste bins throughout the Festival Site.
Please recycle your cups by returning them to the designated cup return points located by the main bars around the site.
Camping style chairs & inflatable seating are allowed on-site, but please be aware there will be a designated point in the Main Arena beyond which you will not be able to take such items. Look out for signage on site.
If you're bringing a baby you can bring in formula milk powder to mix up or food in pouches for them, but please no glass. For anyone else, food is only allowed in the Campsite.
