Tents, Campers, Caravans!
all welcome for the folk festival
at Wilkswood Farm
and included in the weekend festival ticket price
Camping on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday night is included in the festival price. £65 if you book early. When the festival starts we will issue wristbands for each paying family member and a ticket for your tent so he knows who has paid. The festival campsite closes on Monday afternoon, 27 August.
We have camping fields about 150 yards walk from the festival stages.The fields are part hilly, part flat so it is probably best to arrive early to choose your spot.
For 2012, the camping arrangements are good - on the fields on the side of the farm by the B3069 (Langton Matravers to Kingston road).
There are four zones planned:
- camping only (no cars but with car-park in adjoining field);
- campers field for camper vans, tents, caravans (in which cars can be parked next to tents etc);
- quiet zone; and
- day parking field.
We will shortly publish information here about the safe use of vehicles on the campsite.
Bring your bikes, as we want to have vehicle movements to a minimum...easy on the legs and good for the enviroment too.
Tent sizes - Camper vans / Caravans - All are welcome. The site tends to be quite hilly but there are flat areas for campers and caravans. Information about the placing of very large tents and campers will be published shortly.
Camp fires are not permitted for the festival in 2011.
Cooking on the campsite - There is no problem with cooking on the campsite, its just the naked fires we cannot have this year. A small BBQ is permitted as long as it is in a metal BBQ off of the ground. There will be lots of food available on the festival site so you will have lots of choice.
Rubbish - bins will be provided, sort the recyclables though, take them home will be best.
Toilets - good toilets are provided both on the campsite and in the festival area.
Showers are located on the campsite.
The farm has a non-festival campsite which is open through Summer. The festival campsite is only open to festival-goers and for the period of the festival:for the period of the festival.
