Due to fire safety regulations, tents CANNOT be erected next to vehicles in any circumstances. Awnings attached to caravans or vehicles are allowed. You will be asked to take down any tents (excluding awnings) that are erected in this field.  Please be mindful that the allocated space for each live-in vehicle is 5 metres x 6 metres, any large vehicles or people requiring more space than this will need to purchase extra tickets (space).

Due to the event being on active farmland we can not have any pets at the event. Sorry.

The festival opens at Midday on Thursday 23rd May. Everyone holding a ticket is welcome to camp for 4 nights and leave on the Monday daytime (by 3pm please). NOTE: The Boutique Camping Area opens at Midday on Thursday 23rd May.

Tickets for camper vans and caravans are available for £85 in advance. Tickets will NOT be available on the gate. Please DO NOT bring a camper van or caravan if you don’t have a ticket for one as you will be turned away on the gate. If you are bringing a caravan you will be asked to move your towing vehicle to the car park after unhitching it. You won’t be charged to park your tow vehicle in the Car Park.

Yes you can park all weekend for £40 in advance or more if bought on arrival at the event. Please buy your car park ticket in advance as it not only saves you money, it will make the process of everyone arriving on site a lot quicker.

It is fine to bring a few drinks into the camping area, but please don’t bring any glass bottles, these will be taken from you at the gate or you can transfer them to plastic bottles. We allow people to bring in alcohol for personal consumption so a reasonable amount is allowed. Our bars are of a very high standard and reasonably priced so you shouldn’t need to bring too much.

We definitely cater for all ages. The Kids Kingdom will be fully programmed with activities to keep them busy and runs from 9am-5pm in the daytime. There will be a performance show for kids to watch between 5-6pm. Then, for the parents that want to stay up, bands are on till late in The Dig Inn and SS Nautylicious or funk n bass lovers can head over to Ghetto Funk where the party will be starting from 8pm every night. Also, kid- friendly films will be shown in the Cinema daily until 10pm.

We ask everyone to bring photo ID. You only need your unique e-ticket number or barcode at the gate, so print it off or bring it on your phone to show on the gate (Handy tip: screenshot or save to your photos before you leave home if you have trouble downloading images!). If you are lucky enough to look younger than 25, you will need ID to be served at the bar. Don’t worry if your ticket doesn’t have you name on it, as long as it’s valid, all we need is the barcode to scan on the gate.

Due to enormous demands on our water supply and the cost of the setup, Shindig is not able to offer free showers. For those desperate for a shower, there are a number of showers available in General, Boutique and Family camping. We will be charging £15.00 for a wristband to access all weekend. Please be thoughtful with your water usage on site. Turn taps off. Have short showers. Alternatively, we’d just recommend packing some biodegradable wet wipes and making do with those for a couple of days (it’s only a bit dirt after all!)

If you hold a boutique camping ticket just head for the main entrance (there is only one), you will get a special wristband for the Boutique guests. You will be directed to the Boutique camping area, they have a reception to check into. Showers are included in the Boutique Camping ticket price.

No we will not release set times in advance. We open at Midday on Thursday 25th May. Music starts at 3pm. Headliner day splits will go up on our website, a full printed programme will be available to purchase on arrival.
