Can I come and go from the festival?

There is no re-entry once you have entered the festival site. Please ensure you have everything you need before setting off for the festival. Our ticketing system and door staff cannot cope with the volume of people coming in and out if we were to allow everyone to leave and return.

We can, however, offer some flexibility at the discretion our Door Security Staff under specific circumstances, e.g taking your kids home and returning later, disability access, medical emergencies. As you leave, share your reasons, make sure you get scanned out and when you return, scan back in.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us directly for more specific requirements and we’ll always try our best to help.
