Update to this years event:
​
To support the festival’s efforts this year, we kindly ask that only alcohol purchased on-site is consumed. This helps us keep the event running and supports the costs involved in making it happen. Please be aware that bag searches will be in place, and no full bottles will be allowed onto the site. However, we’ve got you covered—there will be water refill stations available, so you can stay hydrated throughout the festival. Thank you for your understanding and support in making this a fantastic event for everyone!
