Stay with us
Your home for
the whole weekend.
Stay close to the music. Our camping hub is near the campsites and car park, with toilets, free showers, phone charging, food and coffee.
BRING YOUR TENT
General camping
Choose your spot in the unmarked camping area. Please bring a tent suited to your group and respect your neighbours’ space. Gazebos may need to come down if more pitching space is needed.
Quiet & family camping
A separate field has a strict 11pm noise curfew, with priority for families camping with children. No separate quiet/family ticket is needed.
Access camping
The first row is reserved for campers who need accessible toilets and showers. Use a general camping supplement; priority is given to those with access needs.
A LITTLE MORE COMFORT
Camping Plus (VIP)
A smaller camping field with fewer guests, luxury toilets and free showers shared with glamping guests.
Camping Plus guests can use the glamping partner’s Pamper Tent, with mirrors and electric sockets.
A Camping Plus supplement is required per person, rather than per tent. This is a camping option; check your ticket for the arena access included.
Campervans & caravans
The separate live-in vehicle field welcomes campervans, motorhomes, caravans and trailer tents. Converted vans must have fixed or folding beds and camping features such as sinks and storage. If unsure, check with the organiser before booking.
