The Festival Site: This is an outdoor festival in the grounds of Rowdeford School. The terrain varies between tarmac paths, short grass and ground that is wet, muddy and uneven. Wellies are a good idea and in the true spirit of festivalling. Wheelchair access is available to all parts of the site although the wooded area and tracks across grass may be hard going for carers pushing wheelchairs.
Medical Services: St John Ambulance paramedics, first aiders and an ambulance will be in attendance.
Welfare: Everyone just wants to have a good time so hopefully everyone will act accordingly. However, there is a Welfare Tent for anyone in need of help. The Welfare Tent will also act as a Meeting Point for people who lose their friends.
Toilets: Portable toilets will be provided including four designed for disabled use. Please do not use the rest of the grounds as toilets – it is just wrong!
What you will need Money for: Free stuff is: Music, music workshops and eco activities. Money will be needed for: shuttle buses (£2), silent disco headphone refundable deposit (£10 note), food and drink, trade stands, holistic therapies, festival amusements.
Identification: All visitors will be required to complete their details on the reverse of a ticket so that they can be identified from their wristband number. It is important that everyone provides the Organisers with correct telephone numbers as they will be used in the event of an emergency especially if someone is unconscious or incapable. Note that minors cannot receive hospital treatment without the say so of a responsible adult so this is absolutely vital for everyone’s safety.
