Facilities

There will be toilets and showers at the festival, but organisers have urged visitors to bring their own toiletries.

Lockers will reportedly be available but these must be pre-booked.

Festival policies

For security reasons, the festival website says that all bags must be smaller than an A4 sized sheet of paper. Only one bag per person is allowed into the arena.

Searches will be made by the festival team upon arrival and at other points and the entry will be subject to the visitor’s consent to these.

The festival website claims they have a strict anti-drugs policy and possession or misuse of drugs will result in a visitor’s removal from the event and the involvement of police.

The tickets do not allow re-entry, so once a visitor exits the venue they will not be allowed back in. Walking on the road to the site is not recommended by organisers.
