Can we swim, kayak or paddleboard?

What music and entertainment is there?

An open mic session and our resident DJ Woodstock on Thursday night, then live music all weekend. Daytime brings open-air yoga, Qi-Gong, dance fit sessions and free crafting workshops for all ages.

Can I bring a tent, campervan, motorhome or caravan?

Yes. Tents, vans, campervans, caravans and motorhomes are all welcome at no extra cost. There is no electric hook-up, so have a look at our free battery, solar, heater and fridge guides to stay powered, warm and cool all week.

What facilities are on site?

Spacious pitches, clean toilets, disabled facilities, water points, Elsan (chemical toilet) points, rubbish points, splash showers and a firepit area are all included in your ticket.

Is there a bar or food stalls? Can I bring my own food and drink?

Wild Fest is completely non-commercial, so there are no food vendors, bars or inflated festival prices. Bring your own food and drink – there are communal BBQ and cooking areas in the entertainment area, so you can cook while you watch the bands.

Are dogs allowed?

Yes. Friendly, well-behaved pets are welcome at no extra cost. Please keep them on a short lead and under control at all times, pick up after them, keep barking to a minimum and don’t leave them unattended.

I don’t have a tent – can I go glamping?

Yes. Our friends at Posh Bells offer ready-pitched glamping bell tents at all of our campsites, from £227 for the whole event or the length of your stay. See Affordable Glamping.

Is there a quiet area for families with young children?

Yes. We have 6 camping zones – Family, Glamping, Sanctuary, General, Solo’s and Party. The Family zone is set in a quieter spot with no noise from 9pm to 9am, so little ones can settle at bedtime, surrounded by other parents. There’s no need to pre-book a zone, just tell the gate staff where you’d like to be when you arrive.

Is there fancy dress?

It’s completely optional. Friday is Sparkles Friday – wear anything glittery or sparkly – and Saturday is an open fancy dress party. Come in whatever you like, as long as it’s family friendly.
