Yes, there is full weekend camping, as well as guaranteed plot, pre-pitched tents and Boutique Camping available. Campervan spaces are available, but are limited in number.
Camping is great fun but if it’s not your thing, there are also a number of lovely hotels, B&B’s and farmhouses nearby, and public buses and taxis to get you to and from site.
You are only able to purchase camping tickets for the full weekend, we do not have individual night camping tickets available. That said, how long you stay is up to you!
Sadly, we do not allow separate tents to be erected alongside your campervan/ motor homes. However, if you wish to erect an awning, this is possible. We kindly ask that you allow 2m of space between your own awning and your neighbours plot and that any awning fits within your 8m x 6m pitch size.
Please note, all awning is erected at the discretion of the campsite manager, and you may be asked to remove it if it deemed obstructive to the surrounding pitches.
All our campsites are child-friendly so there are no specific family camping areas. Please note that all camping spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis unless you book a guaranteed plot in advance. More information on pre-bookable pitches will be available soon.
Campers are welcome to bring a limited amount of food and drink to the campsites, although there will also be concessions here serving coffee and breakfasts each morning. A wide selection of food and drink will be available for purchase in the Main Arena, where festival-goers will not be permitted to bring their own items for consumption with the exception of baby food for the littlest ones.
The UK’s top chefs will be cooking up a storm in the Big Kitchen and it’s going to be popular. To be as fair as possible, seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so you won’t be able to book a place beforehand. We recommend planning your day in advance and getting to your chosen sessions early to get a good spot!
As much as we love dogs, things would get a little chaotic if every man and his dog came along. So we’ve decided the men (and women and children) can come, but the dogs must stay at home. Guide and assistance dogs are, of course, welcome.
Big Feastival is for everyone, big and small. There’ll be plenty of hands-on activities for both big and little ones. On top of this, we have nappy changing facilities, quiet feeding areas and microwaves to warm up baby food or bottles as required.
There will be a wide variety of food available and we aim to cater for everyone. Sign up to our newsletter at the bottom of this page as we release the menu in advance of the event to help you plan what you’d like to eat.
Whilst participating traders at Big Feastival will make every attempt to identify ingredients that may cause the most common allergic reactions, there is always a risk of cross-contamination and those with allergies should be mindful of this. Please check with food traders before eating and they will be able to advise.
Yes, there are showers located in the Campsite for campers to freshen up.
The Main Stage line-up, The Big Kitchen line-up and festival map will all be uploaded to the website for download before the event. Festival Lanyards can help you to plan your time across the weekend. They include daily timetables for all activities and will be available to pre-order closer to the event.
Any Lost Property that has been handed to the Festival Organisers onsite, will be collected and kept. If you have lost something at the Big Feastival, please email a detailed description of the lost item along with a contact telephone number, to enquiries@thebigfeastival.com and we will let you know if it has been found.
All tickets can be downloaded to a smart device i.e., phone, tablet etc. This means you do not have to worry about physically printing out your ticket ahead of arriving on the farm.
If you are still struggling to print off your tickets the week of the Big Feastival, please bring your booking reference with you to the Box Office where we will be able to help you further.
