General Advice for Festival Attendees

• If this is your first time, there’s a lot to look forward to and do: other than four music stages, try the comedy stage, the cinema tent, children’s activities, “surprises” in the Gardens, and Healing Fields.
• There will be a festival programme for sale, with site plan and a lot of other useful information.
• Timings of bands/stages will also be available on our website nearer the time of the festival.
• Remember to bring warm sleeping bags and extra blankets.

Arrival

• New for 2010 the Campsite opens at 3pm on Thursday 9th September.
  (There is no entry before this time).
  New timings for Thursday:
  Box office opens at 2pm
  Campsite opens at 3pm
  Gates close at 10pm (no arrival after this time)
  New timings for Friday:
  Box Office, Car Parks and Campsites open at 8.30am
• There is a fee of £5 for car parking, payable on entry. It's a once-only charge - you can come and go freely thereafter.
• The car park is about 500 metres from the campsite. Vehicles cannot be driven into the campsite. If anyone in your party has difficulty walking this distance, please speak to a steward on arrival.
• Campervans / Caravans / Live-in Vehicles need a ‘Campervan Field ticket’, which needs to be purchased in advance for £45 from the festival website. This area is located separately from the main campsite. A family may erect a modest-sized tent next to their campervan/caravan. Otherwise, tents are not allowed in this field.
• Ticketholders can go straight to wristband exchange which is beside the Box Office.

Security & Safety

• There will be cash machines on site, and a free deposit box / lock up scheme run by Friends of the Earth.
• Don’t leave valuables unattended in your tent and during the night, keep them in an inaccessible place.
• Put your phone number on your child’s wristband.
• Exposure to loud noise can damage your hearing and in particular the hearing of children, please come prepared with well fitting ear protection for you and your children.

Things You Can't Do

• Smoke inside festival tents – Big Top, Local Stage, Tipi tent and so on.
• Bring glass on site.
• Bring pets other than guide dogs.
• Make a lot of noise in the campsite… we’re sure you can see the sense in this one.
• Make open fires or barbecues (camping stoves are fine).
