We’re very proud to be a family-friendly festival. However, there are a few things to note before your family arrives:

• We don’t allow anyone under 18 to be at the festival over the weekend without an adult of 18 or over. This applies to the campsite too.

• Children under 13 years old must be accompanied on site by an adult aged 18 or over at all times.

• All under-18s need to be accompanied by an over-18 through the entry and exit gates to the festival site. 

• ID checks will be carried out at the entry gates for anyone who looks under 21 years old.

COMING BY TRAIN?

The best mainline station near Goatfest is Stevenage - with regular fast trains to London, Peterborough, and Cambridge, and a taxi rank outside, we'd suggest travelling here instead of Welwyn or Knebworth. Stevenage is about five miles away from the festival site. There is a taxi rank outside Stevenage Station on Lytton Way and Uber is also readily available in the area.

Limited paid parking will be available onsite. This cannot be pre-booked.

Car parking is £5 for Friday and £8 per day for Saturday or Sunday. A weekend parking pass is £12. This charge applies to everyone parking onsite at Goatfest (campers and VIPs included).

Q: IS GOATFEST ACCESSIBLE TO ALL?

There is accessible parking available at Goatfest (this cannot be booked in advance) and a dedicated accessible toilet on the festival site, next to the first-aid tent.

If you are a carer, you will be given access to the festival for free provided you are accompanying a paying guest who has a pre-booked ticket. You do not need to book your carer's ticket in advance or notify our team in advance of the event - but the person you are accompanying must have a pre-booked ticket. Please see our box office team at the front gate on arrival at Goatfest and we will arrange access to the festival for you.

If you have any questions relating to accessibility in advance, please email our team at hello@goatfestuk.com

Q: CAN I BRING SOMETHING TO SIT ON?

Yes camping chairs and picnic blankets are absolutely fine, but please do not bring anything that could obscure other festival goers' view - ie. A gazebo or windbreak. Anything left unattended is done so at your own risk. We reserve the right to ask you to remove chairs and other items if they are proving a safety risk or if we need to clear floor space at the event.

Q: CAN I LEAVE THE FESTIVAL AND GET BACK IN? 

You can come and go throughout the weekend, but the last re-entry to the festival is 9pm each day. This applies to existing wristband holders, campers, and also new ticket buyers. If you leave the festival and try to re-enter after 9pm (including from the campsite) you could be refused entry. This is for the safety of you and our other festival goers.

Q: WHAT FOOD AND DRINK WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE FESTIVAL?

We will have a range of fully licensed bars where you can purchase drinks throughout the event from beers, to Aperol spritz, to wine to boozy slushies - you name it, we've got it.

There will also be a range of exciting local street food vendors keeping you fed all weekend - from buttermilk fried chicken and burgers to pizzas and curry, chips, and ice cream. Prepare to eat and drink until you are seriously full up! Most vendors will have a vegetarian or vegan option available and are also able to cater to specific dietary requirements and allergies. All vendors accept card, and some will also accept cash. 

Q: CAN I BRING MY OWN ALCOHOL?

No outside alcohol can be brought onto the festival site. We have a fully licensed bar available throughout the event. Our security team may confiscate any outside alcohol found on site or entering the site during the festival weekend.

Q: CAN I BRING MY DOG?

Unfortunately the festival site is a dog-free zone, apart from registered service dogs, sorry pooches! This also applies to the campsite.

Q: IS GOATFEST A CASHLESS EVENT? 

We are in a rural area and the signal isn't always the best. So we would advise you to bring some cash with you as a back-up. All bars accept cash and card. And most food and craft vendors accept both cash and cards.

The nearest cashpoint is in Codicote village shop, Mace stores. This is on Codicote high street - about a 10-15 minute walk from the festival. Security will allow you re-entry to the festival if you need to withdraw cash.
