How do I buy tickets?

Can I camp at the festival?

Camping areas open at 12pm on Friday 7th August and close at 12pm on Monday 10th August.

What can I expect at the festival?

+

A vibrant weekend packed with live music, '60s and '70s nostalgia, immersive walkabout acts, circus performances, vintage stalls, comedy, retro funfair rides, themed areas, and a cinema showing iconic festival footage from Woodstock, Monterey, Plumpton, and Glastonbury. A full celebration of peace, love, and good vibes.
