Prohibited items
Recreational drugs are absolutely not permitted at the event. We carry out random searches on the gate and if you are found to be carrying drugs then you will not be allowed into the event. Your ticket will be cancelled and you will not be refunded.
Outside food and alcohol cannot be brought into the event. Please support us by buying your food and drink inside the festival grounds. Cooler boxes and large bags of food will not be allowed through the gate. We do our best to keep the prices reasonable and, by buying inside the festival, you will be supporting our charitable causes.
To make sure everyone has a good view of the stage, please leave gazebos, marquees, tents, beach shelters, wind breaks, fishing umbrellas and similar items at home. We may relax this rule if the weather looks bad, so please keep an eye on our social media feeds. Do feel free to bring along a folding camping chair or a blanket if you want to sit down.
Please do not bring gas bottles, disposable BBQ’s or glass into the event grounds. We will ask you to dispose of any such items at the gate. The festival is held on a sports field and we wish to keep it in good condition and free of sharp objects for the other people that use it.
Dog Policy
As a family-friendly event, only registered assistance dogs are allowed inside the festival grounds. Please leave your pets at home.

Inclement Weather
If the festival grounds can be made safe then the event will go ahead regardless of weather. Keep an eye on our social media feeds in the lead-up to the event for the latest information.
Location & Parking
We strongly suggest using your feet or public transport to reach the event as local parking is limited. If you have no choice but to drive then parking can be found at the following locations:
Swimming Pool, Prince’s Street
We ask politely that you consider local residents and avoid on-street parking. There is absolutely no parking permitted at the Star and Garter pub for festival attendees on event day.
Tickets & Tokens
Tickets can be purchased in advance at a discounted rate, or at full value on the gate, assuming that we have not sold out beforehand. We can’t guarantee availability of souvenir cups for tickets purchased on the gate. Keep an eye on our social media feeds for news of when tickets will be released.
All ticket sales (including pre-purchased drinks tokens) are final and non-refundable. If you’ve purchased tickets and can’t make it to the event then we can transfer them into a new name, just get in touch with us via our socials or using the contact form.
Once purchased, drinks tokens can only be exchanged for drinks at the bar. They cannot be changed back for cash, nor can unspent tokens be refunded. For this reason, we recommend not buying more tokens than you expect to spend!
