FAQs
• Can I leave the festival and come back? NO - Once your ticket is scanned and you are in the festival we are unable to allow you to leave and return. Please ensure you have everything you need before entering the festival and have deposited of any prohibited items before joining the queue. Scroll for prohibited items.

• Can babies or young children come if they're supervised? NO - the event is strictly 18+ with no exceptions. This event is not suitable for children.
• Can I use cash? We advise using card throughout this festival as not all stalls or brewery bars will be able to facilitate the use of cash - therefore you may find your options severely reduced if using cash only. Some band merch will only be available to buy with cash however.
