The festival campsite is located at Charles Dickens school, situated within walking distance of the town. There are two level well-drained fields connected by a path. The fields are marked out with wide aisles and plenty of space.

Field A is next to the school building where the onsite catering, toilets (including full disabled amenities) showers and events for Festival Ticket holders are located. Field B is adjoining with a separate gated entrance and has portable toilets on site and pedestrian access to the facilities on Field A. Cars for both fields must be parked in the nearby car parks after unloading but the car parks are right next to the fields. Tents, caravans and campers are allowed on either field. All areas are covered by CCTV and on-site night-time security.

Camping on the Festival site is ONLY available with a Festival Ticket.

The campsite will be open for Festival Ticket holders from 10.00am on Friday 11th August and close at midday on Saturday 19th August

Included in your Festival Ticket with camping is a lot of fun stuff and lots to do for all ages.

A wonderful theatre

This is right on site, for intimate events. The theatre will host some terrific concerts, the popular late-night Music Hall, a couple of workshops and perhaps even a little bit of late night jazz.

The Dance Hall

Just a short stroll from your tent or caravan, with a fantastic programme organised by Madeleine Smith with several guest callers and some first rate music. Workshops and dances from 10am - 10.30pm. Get those dancing shoes on!

Panic Circus

The red and yellow tent where children can try out diablo, tight-rope walking and other circus skills from early morning to early evening - and a special show-case at the end of the week to show off your new skills.

The Creative Tent

A space for the younger folkie to make something wonderful! Sessions daily.

New this year Hublet

We know that the acoustics in the main cafe area were not the best, so look out for the space we are creating within that area this year. We've called it Hublet, and we hope it will be a space which better lends itself to the late night sessions, workshops, and some children's events.
