Fair Space Usage Policy
We want everyone to have an enjoyable and comfortable time at the festival. At busier times our stewards may ask you to limit the amount of ground space that your and/or your party are using, please work with us in making space for everyone at the festival. This may mean that during peak times of the festival we limit the amount of seating space available to keep everyone safe. Thank you for your understanding.
Please note that there is no parking at any of the festival venues, however the venue addresses are below for walking purposes, please refer to parking information on where to park. The closest place to park is at our recommended parking parter – Sidmouth Rugby Club.
Yes. If you have bought multiple tickets and the tickets holders will be arriving in separate parties please make sure that each attendee has a unique ticket.

It is probably easiest to send the relevant ticket attachment to each party so that each person has a ticket to present at the event.
