Here’s a list of FAQ which should cover all your questions!

Tell me some of the great things about this venue!

Beautiful location, a short drive for most of the audience, flat camping, good roads and easy access, toilets and showers!

Is there a cost involved for the showers ?

No! We are happy to say that your ticket includes your site access for 7 days and that this includes full access to the toilets and showers for the full time onsite.

What are the music running times ?

The three big stages (Centre Stage,Gaia Stage, Tower) will run until midnight on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and until 11pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday evening when the festival closes. In addition, we will have Silent Disco on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Centre stage after midnight as well as the tower fun… Think intimate spaces, cabaret performance vibes, wonky wind down sessions, interactive games, late night markets, and an outdoor art gallery. Plenty to do when the big stages close!
