FAQ's
Are there any extra charges for bringing a campervan or caravan?
One of the unique features of this festival is that there are no extra charges for campervans, caravans, or motorhomes. Your weekend ticket includes your vehicle and your accommodation space, provided you fit within a reasonable footprint in the camping field. This makes it one of the most affordable options in the UK for those who prefer "live-in" vehicles over traditional tent camping.
What is the policy for children and families attending the event?
The festival is a family-friendly environment and offers free admission for children under the age of 14 when accompanied by an adult ticket holder. Parents are responsible for their children at all times, and hearing protection is strongly advised for minors inside the main indoor music arena. The festival attracts many regular families, creating a safe and multi-generational atmosphere that is very welcoming.
Can I bring my own alcohol into the festival arena?
While you are permitted to bring your own food and drink for consumption in the camping areas, outside drinks are strictly prohibited inside the indoor stage arena. The venue features a licensed bar that serves a wide variety of real ales, ciders, and spirits at very reasonable prices compared to larger commercial festivals. Supporting the on-site bar helps ensure the festival can continue to operate and keep ticket prices low for future editions.
Is the site accessible for attendees with disabilities?
The Stoke Prior Sports and Country Club is a level site with well-drained fields, making it much easier to navigate than many hilly festival locations. The indoor arena and the main club building feature disabled access and accessible toilet facilities both inside and outside the venue. Attendees with specific accessibility needs are encouraged to contact the organizers in advance to ensure they are parked in the most convenient area.
Are dogs allowed on the festival site and in the arena?
Well-behaved dogs are welcome at the festival but must be kept on a lead at all times to ensure the safety and comfort of all attendees. Owners are strictly required to clean up after their pets and use the designated doggy bags, as this is a sports club site that must remain clean for local use. Owners of dogs that are disruptive or not kept under control may be asked to remove the animal from the site to maintain the festival's relaxed vibe.
