We reserve the right to refuse admission. In particular, anyone arriving drunk at the Main Gate will be denied entry, so please take it easy and make the most of your day.

Please note that the bars will be operating the 'Challenge 21' system. If you look under 21 you MUST bring I.D. if you want to buy a drink. Thanks for your co-operation.
You cannot bring alcohol or glass bottles on site. All bags will be searched on entry. Only unopened plastic bottles / cans of soft drinks are permitted.
There may be a small delay in getting you through the main gate, so please don't cut it too fine if there's a band you desperately want to see!
We have an express lane to help you get in quicker if you don't have a bag.
Each venue has a fixed capacity which, for safety reasons, cannot be exceeded. If there's a particular act that you really want to see then please get down early.
