CAMPING
There is a field set aside for campers adjacent to the Festival. Services and
facilities are very limited, or even non-existent, e.g. the only toilets
available are on the station, which is several minutes walk away. Camping is available on a first-come,
first-served basis, with full preference given to staff.
Camping is not allowed anywhere else (including the car park).. This year
there will be a small charge for camping to cover security costs and you are
advised to pre-book. To book email Click Here to Request Camping Details
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 children until 7.30pm each day, provided that
they are accompanied by their parents or guardians at all times. Please note we do not have a crèche
or other supervised areas for children.
There are numerous opportunities for uncontrolled children to injure themselves
by climbing on railway exhibits, etc.
It is therefore paramount that all children are supervised at all times
and any children found to be unsupervised, or misbehaving will be asked to leave
the festival along with their parents or guardians.
Please note that we will not tolerate the sale of alcohol to (or consumption of
alcohol by) persons under 18 years of age.
Acceptable forms of identification for those who are 18 or over (but are fortunate enough to
look younger), are a valid Passport, current Driving Licence (with photo ID) or
a 'PASS accredited proof-of-age card' with the 'Pass' Hologram |
