TICKETS... of all types are
limited in number, sold on a first-come first-served basis and always
sell out. Ticket sales will be restricted to a maximum combination of 4
adult or young people's tickets, per person or per booking, 1 camping
ticket per Full Festival ticket and a maximum of 4 children per adult.
Do not attempt to buy a Cambridge City resident ticket, including from
touts or on sites such as eBay, if you are not a Cambridge City
resident. Checks will be carried out on entering the Festival and you
will be refused admission. Tickets cannot be exchanged, transferred,
re-sold, or re-issued. Bookings cannot be amended or added to once the
Festival is sold out. Admission tickets and camping space are sold
separately. All tickets include off-site parking. On arrival each ticket
must be exchanged for a non-transferable wristband which must be worn at
all times. If you have purchased a ticket and are no longer able to
attend, you can obtain a refund, provided that your tickets are returned
to the Box Office by 1 July.
CAMPING... is only available to Full
Festival ticket holders. The charge is for tent space not the people
inside, so camping costs may be shared. One camping ticket entitles you
to a plot large enough for a 2/3 berth tent space of max size 4.5m x
3.5m inc guy ropes, measured from the longest to the widest point. To
camp, you must purchase a Full Festival ticket and sufficient Camping
tickets for the size of your tent for the campsite of your choice. Due
to Fire Officer recommendations, awnings or canopies must not link
tents. A clear 2m will be required around each small tent and a clear 5m
around each large tent. Each tent, awning or canopy will require its own
Camping ticket. We recommend the use of flame retardant tents.
The
Festival and both campsites will not open until 10am on Thursday 31
July. Do not arrive until after this time as there will be no access to
the Festival and the Police will move vehicles on.
CHERRY HINTON HALL CAMPSITE... sells
out extremely quickly. You must purchase sufficient camping space for
the size of your tent or you may be moved to Coldhams Common Campsite.
There is no parking at Cherry Hinton Hall. Off-site parking is provided.
Preventing traffic congestion is essential for the future of the
Festival.
There is no unauthorised unloading at or near Cherry Hinton
Hall Campsite other than for disabled people and those with trailer
tents. Please drive straight to the car park, unless you are disabled or
have a trailer tent. It is a 15 minute walk from the car park to Cherry
Hinton Hall Campsite but a regular free shuttle bus service is provided.
Subject to traffic congestion on the day, authorised drop off at Cherry
Hinton Hall Campsite will be allowed to those with greater need e.g.
customers with: large numbers of children; children under 5; an injury
or illness; bulky or large amounts of musical instruments; large amounts
of equipment; or customers who are elderly. Authorised drop off will be
controlled by stewards at the car parks only; you must still drive to
the car park first.
COLDHAMS COMMON CAMPSITE... is more
peaceful and child friendly. Facilities include: on-site parking;
showers; catering; grocery services; family campsite entertainment;
floor-singers’ stage; craft stalls; free regular buses to the main site;

alongside caravans. The price of Caravan/Camper Van tickets is
discounted by 50% for Camper Vans occupying no more than the space
required for a 2/3 berth tent, which is a space of max size 4.5m x 3.5m,
measured from the longest to the widest point. You must ensure you pay
for sufficient space for your Camper Van or you will be charged on site.

April. In accordance with the law, smoking is not permitted within
marquees or other wholly or substantially enclosed public spaces. No
dogs allowed on-site, Guide dogs excepted. In the interests of safety,
chairs or other items which may cause an obstruction in an emergency,
are not allowed within marquees. Due to limited space, please do not
