Q: WHAT IS THE AGE POLICY AT GOATFEST?

Challenge 25 operates on all bars. If you have purchased an adult ticket and are fortunate enough to look under the age of 25, you will be required to provide ID that proves your age. If you cannot provide ID that is valid and in date, you will be refused service.

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 25 or over. This applies to the campsite too.

• Children under 13 years old must be accompanied on site by an adult aged 25 or over at all times.

• Any guests ages 13-17 must be accompanied by a paying adult over the age of 25 through the entry and exit gates to the festival site.

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, glampers, 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: 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.
