Those who have booked to go into Accessible Camping (including carers, friends and relatives) will need to pick up their festival wristband from the Box Office. Once you have done so, you can proceed down the drive to the Accessible Campsite where you can collect your Accessible Campsite wristband, Accessible Parking Pass, Viewing Platform Lanyard from our Accessible Campsite Managers.

CASH OR CARDS
All our bars are cashless. Caterers and traders will be able to accept cash and card. Roaming Programme sellers only accept cash. You can withdraw cash via ATM machines in the festival arena and at the campsite. There is a charge for these.
MR TROLLEY
Mr Trolley will be returning to the festival to help you ferry your gear from the car park to the camping area.
From 3 pm on Friday, you’ll also be able to hire a trolley overnight to wheel your little ones around in, allowing you to catch the late performances whilst they are either enjoying the ride or asleep, safe and sound, right by your side. In addition to a trolley, you can hire a wagon conversion – a trolley with cushions and a canopy with sides that go up or down.
Choose between a trolley or a wagon, in 4 colours, pay for the hire plus the deposit and off you go. Pre-booking will open later in the year.
