There is space available on the adjacent Car Park field for those wishing to use either campervans or caravans.

More info

The site has a gently sloping verdant tree lined camping area contained by Derbyshire woodland. There will be a very well stocked real ale bar with a huge variety of teasingly tasty beers, a variety of stalls, various activities to engage and a selection of vegetarian food & drink stalls and cafes on site and available around the clock.

The festival will also have a number of activities and workshops primarily for young people.

More information will be here when available.
