Camping etc
We do not expect the camping arrangements to change much for 2011, but check this page again before booking just in case!We have fairly level camping facilities right next to the main events site, including space for a reasonable number of caravans and motorcaravans.
We have a few restrictions: (1) You can only camp if you have purchased a weekend ticket, (2) ALL under 18s must be accompanied by at least one adult, on whose ticket the camping has been paid. We are not able to accommodate groups of people under 18 unless they are with a responsible adult. Caravans and campers will be allowed, but numbers are limited and they must be booked in advance, and (3) tents are in a field which is only accessible to emergency vehicles - for this reason we will provide wheelbarrows to move your camping kit from the camp cars area to the tents area.
Please note that for safety reasons car movements will not be allowed once you've set up camp, so if you want to go for a drive you'll need to leave your car in the car park instead (£1 per day).
Camping is just £10 per person, half price for accompanied under 18s and free for under 12s. Camping is also half-price for stewards and booked dance teams (etc). This is for the whole weekend (up to 3 nights, depending how long you want to stay). Online bookings carry a 20p addition per item (including camping permits).
Please note that camping is charged for everyone over 11, including booked teams and stewards at reduced rate, as we have quite high costs for camping facilities and we want to keep ticket prices as low as possible.
The campsite opens at 2pm on Friday 4th (don't come earlier - there's absolutely nowhere to queue in the village) and closes at 11am on Monday 7th. We will not allow movements on or off site between 8.30am and 9.30am on the Monday as you would meet (and possibly be unable to pass) school transport vans and buses.
Ladies and gents basic toilets on the main site - bring your own if you can! Drinking water standpipe available. We will not be providing shower facilities for the weekend (except for booked performers), so bring a bucket!
Now the "no" bits...
Sorry, no electric hookups, no chemical toilet emptying facilities and no lights at night (in fact there are no street lights anywhere in the village) so BRING A GOOD TORCH! No fires anyway on sites, on the common or in the village fields.
NO DOGS! In accordance with a locally imposed condition, dogs cannot be allowed on any part of the campsite or the event site. Please DO NOT BOOK for the weekend and/or for camping if you would need to bring a dog.
No late noise. We won't have a "noisy" area on the campsites as we don't want to annoy the neighbours, so after 11pm we ask everybody to be quiet on the campsite and in the village. Really.
Limited mobility
We have a limited number of sites nearer to the pub for people who have a problem with mobility, but you must book early and understand if we run out of these spaces.
What happens if the weather is wet? We go ahead, unless the campsite is unusable or unsafe. We'll have a couple of tractors on hand to tow you off, but there will be a small charge for this (£5 per vehicle) and it is entirely at your own risk. But it's going to be sunny.....!
