ARRIVING ON SITE
Please use our temporary signage instead of sat navs when driving to the site.
Follow the signs for PRODUCTION and enter the site at BLUE GATE 1; then proceed to the OLD OAK CABIN. Please ensure that you have your vehicle routing pass displayed in the windscreen or ready to show on your phone.
There will be shuttle buses running from nearby stations to the festival site. Once onsite there will be internal minibuses that can take you to the Old Oak Cabin; these run on the same days as the festival buses.
You must check in to collect your wristband at the Old Oak cabin during the following hours only:
- Wednesday: 2pm – 9pm
- Thursday: 9am – 11pm
- Friday: 9am – 11pm
- Saturday: 9am – 9pm
- Sunday: 9am – 5pm
Each accredited person must be there in person to receive their wristband.
There is no access to site at all before 2pm on Wednesday.
If you are arriving on Wednesday, please ensure you have completed the Health & Safety Induction before coming to site.
Please note: Only ‘Performer,’ ‘Performer Crew’, ‘Kids Area Crew’ and ‘Performer Guests’ can be wristbanded at the Old Oak Cabin.
Holders of any other ticket types must go to the gate specified on their own tickets.
GUEST CHARITY DONATIONS
For Performer Guests, there is a compulsory charity donation of £75 for the Weekend or £30 for the Day, payable by credit card or app only when you arrive at the Old Oak Cabin. There is no donation for anyone aged 15 or under, but they may be required to show proof of age if they look older.
The combined donations from our festivals regularly raise more than £250,000 each year.
Every penny goes directly to the charities that we support including Child.org, ActionAid, Bike for Cambodia, Oxfam, and Music Angel.
CASHLESS POLICY
Please note that the entire site will be cashless. You can use debit/credit cards or apps on your phone, such as Google Pay and Apple Pay. Cash will not be accepted anywhere on site.
CAMPING
The Performer Campsite is reserved for Performer, Performer Crew and Performer Guests.
IMPORTANT: If you are coming to the festival with friends or relatives that have other types of tickets, i.e., Guest, General Admission, Family Camping etc, they will not have access to the Performer Campsite.
You can choose to stay in the Guest and Public campsites, but not the Family campsite which is not accessible to performers or their guests without prior arrangement.
CAMPERVANS
If you are planning to bring a campervan or caravan, please ensure that you have requested this in advance via your Festival Republic contact. Your contact will confirm that a pass has been allocated to you and request some details.
When you arrive on-site, you can collect your allocated Campervan Pass at the Old Oak Cabin.
Space is extremely limited, and we cannot guarantee entry for anyone arriving onsite without arranging a pass in advance. Please note that it is not possible to sleep in any vehicle parked in any of the festival car parks.

Children aged 12 years and under are admitted free to the festival, providing that they are accompanied by a Performer or a Guest. They do not require their own accreditation.
They must arrive with the Performer or Guest and will be wrist-banded on arrival.
Everyone aged 13 and over needs to have their own accreditation.
