All the venues are within a ten minute walk from the campsite and the Festival Village at the Leisure Complex is a perfect place to wander about, browse through the various trade, craft and music stalls, enjoy the workshops and activities for all the family and listen to the many performances at the Wold Top marquee while enjoying a pint of the specially created Festival Brew.The 'Area 2' Youth programme featuring some of the UK's most promising young artists will return in 2011.
Willow Lane (Quiet / Family) Site
Part of the festival campsite will be moved to an additional site close by, providing quiet camping, and will be ideal for those wishing to get away from the festival for an hour or two to enjoy a quiet period. The new site is a 15 minute walk away past the majestic Beverley Minster, a field of grazing cows and along quiet green lanes. Alternatively campers can take a shuttle bus that will be laid on specially for them - more information will be available shortly.When booking, those preferring to camp on the new site will need to specify 'Willow Lane (Quiet / Family) Site' as opposed to 'Festival Village Site' which will be at it's regular location
No vehicle policy
Motor vehicles are not allowed on the 'Festival Village' site, and the festival will be providing off-site car parking, with security, for vehicle owners.Take the train initiative
A new initiative will mean that in future festival-goers who travel to Beverley by Northern Rail will be able to claim a 10% discount on their tickets.The partnership forms part of the festival policy of promoting issues of sustainability and the environment. It is already developing its recycling policy and this year aims to ensure that festival food on offer is both organic and locally sourced.
In addition the festival will be given special permission for folk singers and musicians to promote the annual event by performing on key railway stations in the area in the run up to the festival weekend.
The discount on festival tickets will not apply until the 2012 festival but fans travelling by Northern Rail to this year's event will be able to claim their discount for next year by producing their rail ticket when they check in at the Information Desk/Box Office.
They'll then be given a letter and promotion code which will enable them to claim their 10% discount whenever they book tickets for next year.
More information will be here when available.
