My best guestimate.....but 2-5 mins from car park to Emps 1, and 10/15+ for Emps 2, all depends on where they park you up really. They may do it differently this year too, just trying to give cnumb a better idea as I know what an extra 5+ mins can involve when you have lots of gear and beer.....I mean kids in tow.

Also - for the Thurs night last year emperors arena entrance wasn't open, so you had to go down through Emps 2 and the long way around to get to arena anyway, but if James are on main stage then I would think they would open it (last year only glow tent was open on the Thurs)

Cheers, suppose it will be what it will be, V Festival 2 years ago i was 1.75 miles away from tent so a nice 3.5 mile round trip...twice!

Thanks for the vote of confidence Mick! Any how i reckon you should pop down my yard and get my tent and put it up for me then that way we are together and you havnt got a long walk bringing my morning brew, brekkie , lunch , snacks opening my can of stella holding my cup of sawdust at pootopia and so on.!

Isn't that why you're taking Emma?

Cheers Jamj. I don`t mind the walk really but as for those pesky kids..........

I`d guess last year, with the stuff, we were 25-30 mins walk car to tent and that was with ramrara`s help. The Mrs is coming down on the Thursday this year as well and she`s worse than the weans. Looking forward to my emperors debut :beach:

... if I remember rightly but this year will be opening at 9am.

As with most festivals, the earlier you get there the better the spot.

Confirmation email off Ticketline yesterday tea time...

"Good afternoon

I am contacting you regarding your booking for Kendal Calling.

Please be aware that the gates open at 9am on Thursday"

    • Possibly not as there are chair size restrictions in the seated area, for the guidelines see here -  https://www.bbc.co.uk/backstage/radio2inthepark/bring   Have a look into applying for Access and I would recommend contacting them for further advice before buying a ticket - https://www.bbc.co.uk/backstage/radio2inthepark/access  They should also be able to answer if you can take a wheelchair into the seated area 🙂
