Got a question - please look here first!

[Flounder]

The funny thing about running festivals ( or at least one of them ) are the questions we get asked. We did think about putting them all in a book and publishing it in the future. However, now we have a brand new board to play around with, all FAQ's and a few less frequently asked questions and their appropriate answers, will be published - keep checking back, as we will attempt to update as regularly as poss.

Do I need a ticket?

Due to the way our licence has been set, everyone on site has to be accounted for - so yes.

Can I bring my dog/cat/rabbit?

This is a working farm. No animals at all ( bar guide dogs) are allowed on-site. You will be refused entry/removed from site if you are found to have brought any in.

Can we scatter my mates ashes during *insert bands name here*?

I'm unsure of the law regarding this and also the farmers feelings on the matter. If we can get you the go-ahead, please be aware of the wind direction.

My Mother has been taken ill/died/just exploded/been captured by the Taliban. Can we have free tickets?

We really don't feel that you should be attending a festival at this, the most difficult of times.

Can we have BBQ's?

Sorry, but we can't have any open fires on site, due to the dry crops nearby.

I've been told my mates band/my band/a band I used to follow years ago are playing. Can you confirm this?

Please look at the line up.

Can my band play?

Do you do concessions? We have had a lot of expenses this year, what with the holiday abroad, 5 kids, new vehicle etc.

At EiiD we try to keep the price down as low as possible for everyone, whilst still providing a quality event. To this end unfortunately we can't provide any concessions. If you would really like to come, please consider volunteering as a steward.

If I volunteer as a steward, can I split the work between me and my partner and have a family ticket?

Stewards get one ticket each. Unfortunately we can't operate a work-sharing operation. All stewards to however get backstage camping, a meal per shift and access to the bus-bar.

I'm disabled and would like to come to the festival. Unfortunately I can't manage tents,bags etc. Do you offer any facilities for the disabled?

Please email your phone number and we will personally discuss your requirements and where we can help.

Can we come a fortnight beforehand as we want to build it into our holiday and fancy a Dorset based trip?

The festival opens the campsite at Midday on the Friday and closes Midday on the Monday. Unfortunately you cannot be onsite before or after then.
