- Arrival and departure times?
- Arrivals are after 2pm on the first day of the festival, and before 2pm on the final day. The first meal served (for those taking full catering) is dinner on the arrival day, and the last meal served is lunch on the departure day. If you are coming for less days (see 3 day booking form and day booking form) then we assume that you will arrive from 2pm, and leave after lunch time the next day. We will of course be flexible around that, and any 72 hour period or 24 hour period is acceptable in such cases.
- Where is the festival exactly in the grounds?
- The festival is based in the grounds and buildings of the Royal Agricultural University, with the workshops in the main building and some of the classrooms. The camping field is the garden next to the accommodation buildings in the East side of the site.
- Can I bring a campervan?
- Yes – book camping passes for each person, and also a campervan pass for the campervan or caravan. There are no electric hook up (EHU) available
- Can I put my tent next to my friend’s tent or campervan?
- Yes, there is plenty of space and no particular space is allocated, both for campers in tents and those in campervans, so you can be next to whoever you choose to be next to
- Can I park my car next to my tent?
- No, parking for campers will be in a separate place, but you will be able to come close to the camping area to drop things off, before returning your car the correct parking area. If the ground is dry enough, we will allow you to drive right to the spot you wish to camp on.
- Are there toilets and showers for campers?
- Yes, both of these facilities are provided for campers
- Are dogs allowed?
- We are very sorry, but no, dogs are not allowed.
- Can I make a campfire by my tent?
- We are very sorry, but no, fires are not allowed even in a firepit. We suggest instead that you come and share the communal fire in the evenings.
- Can I self cater if I have a bedroom?
- There are no self catering facilities provided for anyone, including those who book a bedroom. We strongly suggest that you book the full catering package if you are booking a bedroom because of this
- Can I park my car next to my bedroom?
- The car parking area is next to the accommodation buildings, but you cannot park directly outside your bedroom.
- Can I leave the site and come back on site during the festival?
- Yes – it’s no problem to leave the site and come back on at any time. You will have a wristband to show that you are already registered at the event
- Do I need to book workshops and activities in advance?
- No – you simply turn up to the workshops and activities. No need to book in advance. With so many workshops running, we rarely have a problem with capacity, but if that does happen, then try to have a plan B and come again to the workshop you missed later in the week (but get there early!)
- I want to offer workshops / activities / volunteer at the festival – who do I contact?
- Please email us at info@sunandmoonfestival.com to discuss possibilities of you offering workshops, activities or simply volunteering to help with the festival. We are generally very open to new people joining us in this way.
- Do you offer a free pass for carers?
- Yes we can. Please email us at info@sunandmoonfestival.com to discuss any such requirements.
- Do you offer tickets for specific workshops?
- No we do not, and logistically it would be hard, as we do not take bookings for individual workshops. We highly recommend that you come for a full day with a willingness to absorb the experience as a whole, rather than trying to go to one specific thing.
- Do you send out physical (paper) tickets?
No, we do not send out physical tickets. An email confirmation or ticket will be sufficient to show that you are booked in. On arrival we will provide you with the necessary wristbands to show that you are allowed to be at the festival.
