Campervan Pitches
Our campervan pitches are approximately 8m x 5m and we have options of parking up near the action or further away for a more peaceful nights sleep.
We will do our best to park you up on as flat ground as possible.
Will there be a picnic?
Oh yes! We are planning to hold a group picnic in a designated area at a designated time, so bring a picnic blanket and plenty of food and drink.
If you don’t want to cook in your van then there will be plenty of food vendors to supply you with delicious food throughout the weekend.
Tent Pitches
You dont have to have a campervan to attend the event! Tents are welcomed and there are plenty of pitches for you to choose from.
There is also room for you to park alongside your tent.
On Foot
Your pass will give you full access to event on both Saturday and Sunday so you are more than welcome to either stay at accommodation nearby or, if you are local, you are free to return home at night.
Will there be food and drink available?
As this is a food focused vanlife festival, we always encourage you to bring your own food and cook on-site. However, we will have handpicked catering outlets at the event serving delicious food, which we encourage you to support if you can. You wont be going hungry at this festival!
Are there going to be showers and toilets on-site?
We wont be having any showers at the event but for those who don’t have a loo in their vans, we will provide an adequate amount of portable toilets.
Will there be any electrical hook-ups?
The event is being held on private farmland and there will be no access to any power points. The event attractions will have both lighting and power.
Is there a family camping area?
Yes, we have ensured that there is an area suitable for families who want a more peaceful nights sleep.
Can I bring my pets?
Absolutely! There is plenty of room to walk your dog and get some exercise away from the crowds. We know it need not be mentioned but please make sure you clean up after your pets.
Can I bring an extra vehicle?
Yes, you can bring an additional vehicle to park up next to your friends vans or tents but in order to guarentee a parkup next to your friends you will need to travel into the event together. We can not pre allocate pitches.
Are motorhomes allowed?
Yes, we allow almost any home on wheels (unless you’re in an 18 wheeler!)
Can I pre-book a pitch?
No, we are afraid you can not pre pick your pitch. If you would like to park up amongst friends, you should arrange to enter the site at the same time where stewards will locate you together.
Will there be drinking water?
Yes, we have two locations either side of the event space to be able to fill up with fresh drinking water.
Will there be somewhere to empty a toilet?
Yes, we will be providing an elsan point for you to empty your van toilet.
Can we park in groups?
Yes, we will do our very best to park you up alongside your friends. Please arrive in a convoy and request parking alongside one another when you arrive.
Can I leave during the event?
Once parked up in a camping zone it will be very difficult to manoeuvre. For this reason, we request that you do not leave site unless in an emergency. In this case, you must liaise with an event steward to be escorted safely out of the camping area.
Once you leave you may not be able to park in the same spot.
Is the event wheelchair friendly?
The event is on a farm and as such the ground is uneven and grassy which may make it difficult for wheelchairs.
