Family friendly

This is a family friendly event which will be easy going and based on a relaxed laid back atmosphere.

Camping

For the benefit of families with younger children, it would be preferable if the campsite was a quiet area between 9pm and 9am. So if sitting around the fire pit at night, or coming back from the Barn, please don't drum or play loud musical instruments in or near the campsite and keep voices down so people can sleep. Those without a tent are welcome to sleep in the main barn (lots of warm space), but be aware that the music doesn't usually stop until the very early hours.

Facilities

As well as portaloos on the camp site there are proper toilet facilities next to the main barn and cafe area, and also a hot shower on site. As usual with Tapeley weekend events, Lynton will once again be providing excellent food and beverages during the day and a licensed bar in the evening.

Children's entertainment

The site is children friendly and seems very safe and secure venue, there is a children's mini assault course on site. The exact location of the festival will be sent with tickets.

More information will be here when available.
