Unauthorised Ticket Agents and Touting

Tickets bought from unauthorised agents are not valid and admission will not be granted to the Event with any ticket bought from unauthorised agents. To be as safe as you can and to avoid obtaining an unauthorised ticket, follow these simple guidelines. Please note that these guidelines are not intended to be an exhaustive list of precautions which you should take to avoid obtaining an unauthorised ticket.

 Do not buy from an unofficial ticket agent. Tixel is our only official reselling site 

If you live in the UK do not buy from a website with an overseas office address, or with no registered address shown.

If we are aware that you have bought tickets anywhere other than from official authorised outlets you will not be granted access to the Event. The Promoter will be unable to assist you if you have bought from an unauthorised source, as we will have no purchase history available for the ticket.

If you do encounter problems contact your credit card issuer as soon as possible.

Occasionally due to genuine circumstances you may find yourself with a spare ticket. Please do not be tempted to sell it on an unauthorised auction site or to sell to a ticket tout or unauthorised online agency. If you do the Purchaser may not be able to enter the Event (under the Terms and Conditions) for the reasons set out above. Should this happen you may find that the purchaser brings a legal claim against you for selling a ticket which does not permit access to the Event.

We reserve the right to cancel any ticket booking which we reasonably believe to have been made with a view to resell such tickets or where the ticket has been purchased using fraudulent means, such as credit card fraud.

Tickets may be restricted to a maximum number per person per credit card or per household. These restrictions will be notified to you by our ticket agents and on our website before you make your booking. We reserve the right to cancel tickets purchased in excess of this number without prior notice to you of such cancellation.

Tickets obtained in breach of these Terms and Conditions shall be null and void and the Promoter may refuse admission to, or eject you from, the Event. Any person seeking to use a void ticket in order to gain or provide entry to an Event will be considered to be a trespasser and will be ejected and liable to legal action. Void tickets are non-refundable.

If before or during the Event you have a complaint in relation to the Event, please contact the Promoter or a steward promptly since complaints are very difficult to deal with after the Event.

You must comply with any and all instructions given to you by the Promoter and/or stewards and staff (including all Tutors, Presenters and Instructors) at the Event.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the full, advertised timetable of classes, workshops, activities & entertainment acts take place, the Promoter reserves the right to change the published timetable and/or running times without notification.  This includes, but is not limited to, tutors, presenters and advertised classes, workshops & Entertainment acts. Tickets are for the Event and not a specific tutor, workshop, class, activity or Entertainment act.

Any published start and finish times of timetabled classes, activities and entertainments at the Event are estimates only and are subject to change. The Promoter shall not be liable for any change of a published start or finish time. It is your responsibility to make appropriate arrangements to ensure that you arrive at the Event in sufficient time in case the Event or the performance you wish to see starts earlier than the published time or otherwise to ensure you are able to stay until the close of the Event or performance should you wish to if it overruns. We will not be responsible to make any refund or meet the costs of any alternative travel arrangements or for any loss of enjoyment or other indirect loss as a result of an Event not running to the precise advertised times or for your late arrival at the Event.

The Promoter will not accept responsibility for any damage or loss of personal items at the Event. Please ensure you look after your possessions. Lost Property will operate from the Information Desk – so if you’ve found something or lost something, please go there.

The nature of the terrain of the Old Castle Terrace will have trip hazards and other rough areas. Your attendance is at your own risk. The Event organisers will do all that they can to highlight such areas but accept no responsibility for any personal injury arising from but not limited to the nature and terrain of the site. 

All classes, workshops, activities and arranged or informal activities organised at the Event are undertaken at your own risk.

 Specific Requirements for Access

The Promoter takes the needs of customers who are disabled or who have other access requirements very seriously and actively encourages people of all abilities to attend the Event. However, the Event terrain may limit access to certain areas. There will be uneven ground and certain paths that will not be suitable for those with limited mobility or vision impairments.

If you have access requirements, please contact us as far in advance of the Event as possible. If you have not notified the Promoter of your access requirements in advance, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to cater to your needs though we will use reasonable endeavours to do so.

Camping

Camping and Glamping is strictly subject to the purchase of a Weekend ticket.

Campers should pitch tents as directed by the Event Stewards in designated camping areas only and stay out of fire lanes and other working areas.

Trailer tents are not allowed on the campsite.

VW Campervans and similar are only allowed in low numbers. You must highlight your intention to bring a camper van to the Event organisers at the time of booking your ticket. Failure to do so may lead to you not being allowed on the campsite due to space restrictions

You should bring a tent that is sized for the amount of occupants. We reserve the right to refuse to allow any structures which are too large or which we believe may cause a health and safety risk.

We will not be liable for any failure to provide any advertised facilities within the camping area.

All items are brought and left at your own risk.

You are allowed to bring your own supply of food into the campsite for personal consumption only. Please don’t bring it into the Main Festival site . You are permitted to cook solely within the campsite using either gas camping stoves, using canisters of no more than 450g. or a legged BBQ. Strictly no fires on the grass areas.

Don’t dispose of hot BBQ’s or hot coals in the grass or recycling bins.

DO NOT take your legged BBQ into your tent under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES – even if it’s cold. It gives off Carbon Monoxide. 

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, highly poisonous gas that can kill in minutes. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be caused by ANY fuel that burns or smoulders so take extra care when cooking at the festival. We suggest you make sure your camping light and stove are clean and properly looked after, you don’t take a portable barbecue – or lit charcoal – into an enclosed space and make sure exhaust from generators is properly vented away from occupied areas

If you think you have potentially been exposed to carbon monoxide gas whilst at the festival, please contact a steward immediately. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:

Headache

Dizziness

Nausea

Vomiting

Tiredness and confusion

Stomach pain

Shortness of breath and difficulty breathin

All fires in the campsite must be extinguished by MIDNIGHT and will be checked by security 

You are permitted to bring alcohol for your own consumption. Strictly no re-sale. The Event Official will have the right to determine the levels of alcohol that constitute a ‘reasonable amount’ for personal consumption. Any alcohol above a ‘reasonable amount’ will be confiscated by the Event Official.

You must take everything home with you and leave no trace….   clear up rubbish, pack up your tent check that all litter has been removed. Do we really need to ask?
