Programme:

Caravan, Motorhome and Rooftop Tent Sites:
This is important as these sites sell really fast. Caravan sites are for those wanting their own slice of festival reserved over the weekend. Please come as self-contained as possible. That’s with solar panels, batteries, torches, water (no generators please), etc. If you can be self-contained with solar panels there’s no need to purchase in the powered section. The size options are:

Powered section:
Large 5.5 x 16m
Standard Size 5.5 x 8m

Non Powered section:
Large 5.5 x 16m
Standard Size 5.5 x 8m

If you have a small caravan that doesn’t take up much space you’re welcome to pitch a small tent within your allocated caravan site.

Roof top tent sites need to be booked as a caravan site. We aren’t permitted to allow people to camp inside their vehicles in the carpark.

Make sure you measure your space beforehand so you’re not disappointed.

Food & Retail Vendors:
Over the years we’ve had some amazing food and retail vendors colour festival. For 2022 you’ll be drooling over all the tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner food stalls, plus retailers to purchase your 2022 memorabilia, cool new threads and accessories.

Photo, Film and Campsite Comps:
Themes for Festival One’s 2023 Competitions will be announced later in the year – keep an eye on our website for more details.
