Festival Essentials & Insider Tips

Here’s the rundown of things you need to know. 

So, there are single-day passes, with an adult tier for 18 years old and above (GA for £90.95 and VIP for £251.45) and a junior one for 6-17 years old GA for £42.80 and VIP for £85.60).

There’ll be a lot of people – probably around filling the venue’s 20,000 capacity – coming down for the event. And Gill Tee, co-founder of the festival, along with Deborah Shilling who recently departed from the role, are warmly welcoming everyone. With that said, it’s best to get your accommodation settled to make it a hassle-free experience.
