CAMPING
There is a field set aside for campers ajacent to the Festival. The camping is free, services and facilities are very limited or even non-existant, i.e. only station toilets available
and on a first come first served basis (that is access to the field not to the toilets),
but if full preference will be given to staff.
Camping is not allowed anywhere else (including the car park) We must not damage the field to avoid upsetting the Farmer, so
if you are camping, please read the rules attached in the link below.

CHILDREN
The festival welcomes well behaved, controlled and supervised children up until 7.30 pm each day. Please note we do not have
supervised areas for children, so parents, guardians, minders must take full control of their Children at all times. There is plenty of opportunity
for uncontrolled children to climb on railway exhibits, and causing themselves major injury. It is therefore paramount that all children are fully controlled.
Any children found to be unsupervised, or misbehaving will be asked to leave the festival along with their parents/guardian/minders.
Please note we will not tolerate the sale of or the consumption of alcohol by persons under 18 years old.
