Camping:
Camping is in the main arena. As it stands there’s likely to be more than one camping area – one very close to the arena and another one a bit further away. The latter one will probably be the ‘quiet’ campsite and will also double as the Campervan site.
Stuff to bring with you:
Decent camping mat or inflatable mattress.
Torch and/or headtorch.
A bike lock.
Money.
A hammmer.
Spare tent pegs.
Food/drink/snacks.
Beer.
Insect repellent.
Sun tan lotion.
Car parking:
It is free to park.
There will be two secure car parks in operation. One for people staying for the duration of the weekend, the other for people who aren’t (spectators, non-campers, marshals etc).
It is free to camp.
Food and (non-alcoholic) drink will be available to buy.
You don’t have to camp!
Many people prefer to stay in somewhere with a proper bed and hot and cold running water. And many locals will opt to pop back to their homes on Saturday night, which is fine and dandy.
Be warned though, at previous events a great many locals have really not wanted to leave the Saturday evening’s festivities and socialising, and they’d wished that they’d brought their camping stuff with them. So if you’re local, think about bringing your camping stuff just in case you want to experience the whole Weekender thang.

£15 for a single room sounds quite enticing – did I read that right? Do they take pets?
Give ’em a ring 🙂
