About the Campsite
Our new home for the festival campsite is Charles Dickens school, situated within walking distance of the town. There are two level ground fields – field A and field B. Field A is next to the school buildings where the onsite catering, toilets, (including full disabled amenities), showers, country dancing and late night events for Season Ticket holders only are located. This is also the home of the wonderful Panic Circus who will entertain your children throughout the days, and teach them some very useful circus skills!
Field B is adjoining with a separate gated entrance and has portable toilets on site and pedestrian access to the facilities on Field A. Tents, caravans and campers are allowed on either field. Cars can park adjacent to tents on field B and in designated areas on field A. All areas are covered by CCTV and on-site night-time security
The campsite opens from 10am on Friday 9 August 2013 and closes at midday on Saturday 17 August 2013.
Camping on the Festival site is ONLY available with a Season Ticket.
No under 18 year olds are admitted without adults accompanying them. Strictly no animals allowed on site, other than guide dogs.
Late Night Sessions at the School Hall
The general spirit of Folk Week is one of consideration for others and locating the late nights in the hall means that the noise levels are contained. Although we appreciate some people’s need to showcase their prowess on the 3 string guitar at half-past two in the morning - unacceptable levels of noise will not be tolerated on either field.
Behaviour
Please be aware that if we consider your behaviour is threatening the future of the festival at this site – we will ask you to leave. The campsite is not on a green field site away from everyone, it is in a residential area and we like to have happy neighbours. In 2013, the campsite will be open for Season Ticket holders from 10.00am on Friday 9th August and close at midday on Saturday 17th August 2012.
