Camping

CAMPSITE

There are two main family camping fields with plenty of space for groups to camp together and kids to run around. The campsites open at midday on Friday and last admission at wristband exchange is 9pm. This is a family festival so we kindly request that, especially in the evenings and through the night, noise is kept to a minimum in the campsites.

If you are arriving by car, you must leave it in the car park. Cars will not be allowed anywhere beyond the main car park unless you’ve booked a live in pitch. The closest you can camp to the car park is downhill about 100 meters, which would then be about a 200m walk into the main festival site. The furthest you could conceivably walk between the far corner of the car park and the farthest corner of the wild camping field is just over 1km (but it’s well worth it in our opinion!).

There is no trolly hire at Elderflower Fields so if you are new to festivals with kids we highly recommend thinking about how you’ll transport your camping kit if you aren’t a light packer.

COOKING AND FIRES

You are welcome to to cook your own food on camp stoves or portable barbecues (please do not bring disposables), but you must ensure they are raised off the grass. Please also make sure you’re well away from your tent and definitely not inside your tent or porch. Apart from the fire risk there is a real danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Unfortunately, open camp fires are not permitted anywhere in the campsite. Candles and paper or Chinese lanterns are also not allowed. Instead, we will be running a communal camp fire where you can warm up, toast marshmallows and sing a few songs.
