Q: CAN I CAMP IN MY CAR, BRING A CARAVAN OR TOWED VEHICLE?

No towed vehicles, cars, or caravans are allowed on site. This includes trailer tents.

 

Q: WHAT TIME CAN I ARRIVE - AND IF I HAVE A TENT WILL I BE ABLE TO DRIVE ONTO THE CAMPSITE?

THE CAMPSITE WILL OPEN AT 3PM ON FRIDAY 22 AUGUST. Please do not arrive before this time as you will not be allowed to park onsite or access the camping area.

 

Campers in tents must park their car in the allocated car park (there is an additional £10 charge for car parking per car for the weekend if you have a valid camping pass) and do the short walk with their tents and equipment onto the site. This is for safety reasons. You will not be allowed to drive to your tent under any circumstances. Customers with mobility issues, please email hello@goatfestuk.com to make any additional access requests.

 

Campervans will of course be permitted to drive to their pitch - but this will be via a different gate. You will be directed to the relevant area once you arrive on site.

 

Q: HOW MANY CAMPING TICKETS DO I NEED FOR MY GROUP?

Camping tickets & campervan tickets are per person.

 

To camp in a tent, you need to buy a camping pass for every adult in your group, and for children aged 4 and over in advance.

 

To camp in a campervan, you need to buy a campervan pass for every adult in your group, and for children aged 4 and over in advance.

 

All adults and children aged 4 and over, regardless of the duration of their stay, will need to purchase a weekend camping ticket. No one will be allowed into the campsite without a ticket.

 

Q: CAN CHILDREN CAMP AT GOATFEST?

Under 18s are welcome to camp, providing they have the appropriate ticket and they are staying with a responsible adult, over 18 years of age.

 

The camping spaces are allocated on arrival so we would recommend arriving early (from 3pm on Friday) to select the spot you'd prefer.

​

Q: CAN I BRING MY DOG?

Sorry pooches, we're not allowed dogs or any other animals on the campsite or festival site apart from registered assistance animals. If you have an assistance animal please contact hello@goatfestuk.com to arrange access before the event. 

 

Q: WILL CAMPING AND CAMPERVAN PITCHES BE PRE-ALLOCATED?

No there will be no pre-allocated camping pitches.

 

There will be enough space for everyone who has pre-booked camping or a campervan pitch. But pitches will all be allocated on a first come first serve basis so we recommend arriving between 3pm and 5pm on Friday to secure your perfect spot!

 

Q: WHAT SIZE OF TENT CAN I BRING?

We would ask you only to bring a tent to fit your needs. Ideally a maximum of a four-man tent, and we ask that no tents larger than a eight-man are pitched on site. If you have a larger tent and would like to camp, please contact us to discuss at hello@goatfestuk.com

 

Q: WHAT FACILITIES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR GOATFEST CAMPERS?

Showers and toilets are available for all campers. This is a huge luxury compared to other festivals our size. We can't guarantee there won't be queues for these facilities. Please be patient and nice to our staff who will do our best to maintain keep them tidy for the weekend.

 

There will be a caterer and coffee van in the main camping area selling breakfast, tea and coffee from approximately 8am until 11am on Saturday & Sunday.

 

Drinking water will also be available throughout your stay - so please bring a reusable water bottle. There will also be a toilet allocated for waste disposal for campervans.

 

There will be no electricity available for camping pitches or electricity hook-ups for campervans, so things like torches and night lights will be worth bringing.

 

Q: ARE THERE ANY OTHER RULES?

​We're quite a relaxed bunch in general, but there are a few important rules that are in place for your safety and the safety of our team.

 

BBQs and campfires of any kind are forbidden on the campsite. As are generators, gas bottles and gas cannisters of any kind.
