STRICTLY NO TENTS ALLOWED IN THIS SITE.

The area for camping is used as farmland for the rest of the year so it doesn’t have power. There is a limited containered water supply available (please ensure that you fill up your water tanks and empty your waste before arriving on-site as resources are limited). We must run the camping areas this way to comply with the event license, and other health and safety regulations.

Early arrival to the Campervan/Live-in Vehicle site is permitted between 6pm - 9pm on Thursday 25th July 2024.
