The information below applies to the festival held at Leicester, before its 2012 move to Catton Hall, Walton-on-Trent, South Derbyshire.
To camp you need a camping pass at £5 per tent, as space is extremely limited. They must be pre-booked. If your tent is 6 berth or more, you will need two tickets.
Spaces for Camper Vans (not Caravans) must also be pre-booked as spaces are limited - this must be done through our Box Office on 0116 233 3111.
The campsite is open from 2pm on the Friday until approximately 8pm on the Sunday, so watch your alcohol intake if you are driving on the Sunday after the music has finished.
No glass or garden furniture. No barbecues, fireworks or dogs (except guide dogs).
