Q. Can I park my car next to my tent?
A. Unfortunately not. It is a health & safety requirement that cars cannot be parked adjacent to tents. However, the carpark area is just a few yards away from the camping area in the same field.
|
Q. Are there any restrictions on tent size?
A. No but try not to bring a 6 room mansion for 1 person. Bring friends instead!
|
Q. Are there toilet facilities on the camp site?
A. Yep.
|
Q. Can I have a barbeque or fire at the camp site?
A. BBQ's are allowed but must be off the ground. Flat throwaway BBQ's or any type of open fire are not allowed.
|
Q. Are there any electrical hook-ups, showers or water supplies on the campsite?
A. There are fresh water standpipes at regular distances around the campsite and water butts for fire fighting. We annually review the costs of shower and electrical hook-up facilities for caravans but the costs continue to be too high in order for us to be able to keep ticket costs low. We are improving facilities on the campsite year on year and hope that we will be able to offer such facilities in the future.
|
Q. When will I receive my tickets?
A. We are now sending eTickets. After purchase you will receive an email with your eTicket reference number. You must bring this with you to exchange for wristbands.
|
Q. I received my tickets but I have lost them. Can you replace them?
A. Like any other box office or ticket agency we cannot replace lost tickets unfortunately.
|
Q. Will tickets be available on the gate?
A. We do not reserve any tickets for sale on the gate so if they sell out before the weekend they will not be available on the gate. If tickets sell out we will announce it on the website so please check the home page before leaving home if you intend to buy tickets on the day.
|
Q. I've had a bad experience at other festivals with insufficient or unclean toilets. Are your facilities any better?
A. Oh yes.. We have plenty of toilets that are cleaned and serviced regularly and topped up with soft toilet paper.
|
Q. Will there be a cash machine on site so I can withdraw cash?
A. We have looked into this but the charges to you, the customer, are excessive and are based on a minimum of 900 withrawals at £2.75 each! If there are any less than 900 withdrawals Weyfest would have to pay the shortfall. As we would like to remain in business and bring you Weyfest in future years we have opted not to install cash machines. As the nearest town is 3 miles away we suggest you bring plenty of cash!
|
Q. How accessible is the site for the disabled?
A. Almost all the site has good disabled access including the arboretum. Disabled toilet facilities are available for the festival and disabled campers will be situated close to these.
|
Q. Are children welcome?
A. Yes, of course! There's a reconstructed village playground, a sci-fi zone and plenty of activities for kids too. It's great for the whole family! Children 5 & under are admitted FREE. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult.

A. Yes they will! Please note that the railway is run by the Old Kiln Museum and there is a small charge to help maintain it.

|
Q. I would like to advertise in the Program. Who do I contact?
A. Please email advertising@weyfest.co.uk
|
Q. Do I need to bring ID?
A. Not if you are over 21. If you are under 21 please read the Challenge 21 rules below:
Weyfest will be operating the Challenge 21 initiative which aims to cut down on underage alcohol sales and highlights the fact that:
“if you are lucky enough to look under 21 you will be asked to prove that you are over 18 when you buy alcohol”.
Acceptable forms of proof are: photocard driving licence, passport or PASS* accredited proof of age card.
The 'Challenge 21' initiative encourages sellers of alcohol to ask for official forms of identification from anyone that appears to be under 21-years-old. If a trader suspects someone is under that age and doesn't have the relevant identification, eg passport, photo driving licence, citizencard, they will not be served. Stewards on site also have the power to request proof of age if they see anyone drinking alcohol who appears to be under age.
The scheme is being promoted because it can be very difficult to identify accurately whether someone is 17, 18, 19 or 20 but is usually easier to determine whether someone is 21. However if young people have official identification to prove they are over the age of 18 they will of course be served legally.
|
Q: I've heard there is a smoking ban at Weyfest, is that true?
A: No. As the venue is an outdoor museum, with lots of valuable wooden artefacts to protect, smoking is restricted to a designated outdoor area where tables, chairs and refreshments are available for your comfort.
|
Q. I can't find the answer to my query. Who do I contact?
A. Please send your query to info@weyfest.co.uk
|
Q. How do I get a carer ticket if I am the carer of a disabled person?
A. We assume that whereas the disabled person might like to come to Weyfest the carer may not and so the carer pass is free. We do not send out carer tickets. The disabled person must buy a ticket and on arrival at the ticket desk at Weyfest they must present proof of disability if asked. This must be in the form of eligibility for disabled living allowance (DLA), a disabled railcard or disabled parking badge. You will then be given free festival entry as carer. This is limited only to festival entry and does not include camping or campervan passes.
|
Q. Are there any disabled parking and disabled camping facilities?
A. For those that are not camping there is a disabled parking area adjacent to the festival entrance. On arrival please let the stewards know that you are disabled a nd they will direct you to teh parking area. If you are camping, there is a separate disabled parking and camping area adjacent to the exit of the campsite. There are also disabled toilets in this area.
|
Q. How accessible is the site for the disabled?
A. Almost all the site has good disabled access including the arboretum. Disabled toilet facilities are available for the festival and disabled campers will be situated close to disabled toilets on the campstite.
