No pets allowed, sorry. Most larger camping festival don’t allow dogs. A weekend camping festival is not your everyday kind of outing. We all love our dogs and want to share every happy experience with them but sometimes its not in their best interest, or of others around them. A lot of people are afraid of dogs and within the festival environment they have no escape. Regardless of a dog’s chilled-out and sociable nature we have to carefully appraise conditions for everyone attending and we don’t think it’s a good idea to take dogs along to a larger-scale event where attendees will number in the thousands. Our Main Stage is inside a huge Big Top tent, there will be bustling crowds around the festival (day and night) and in the campsites – we don’t believe this will be an environment that is dog-friendly hence the no pets policy.

No cars are allowed in the campsites or in the campervan fields. Its not far to walk to from the car park to the campsites or to the Arena.
