New – Online Booking Fee
We are introducing a new ticketing system this year which will mean that there will be an additional booking fee charged by the third party administering the online ticket sales.
The ticket agency we are using is a charitable trust whose profits go to supporting the arts.
Almost all festivals have a booking fee of some kind, some hide it in the price and others don’t. We prefer to be transparent. We hope that the line up and programme that we are putting together will deliver a fantastic festival and excellent value for money. Our Early Bird tickets plus the booking fee are still less than our main weekend ticket price last year – and we have an extra day this year!
Camping and Caravans/Motorhomes
- Camping on the festival site is only available to WEEKEND ticket holders and covers 4 nights, Friday to Monday inclusive.
- The cost of camping is £15 per Adult and £8 per Youth and must be booked and paid for at the same time as your ticket.
