Visiting the Festival

Here's some practical information to help plan your visit.  If there is anything else you'd like to know, please contact us.

Directions

We're only 15 miles north of Bristol, easily accessible from the M5.  

GL13 9DX or what3words ///ears.earphones.dusters

Parking

There is plenty of free car parking.  It's a short walk around the church to get to the gate.

Why not cycle?

We're only a couple of miles from Thornbury.  Leave the car at home and enjoy a ride up the quiet lanes.  Feel good by parking right by the gate and enjoy the beer!

Accessibility

We want our festival to be inclusive and welcoming to all.  The field is suitable for wheelchairs although it is a bit bumpy in places.  We can reserve parking by the gate. If there's anything we can do to help with your visit contact us here.

No Dogs

Please leave 4-legged friends at home. ​Guide dogs are welcome of course.

Timings

Gates open at 1.30pm and the music starts at 2pm.  More details of the programme timings will be here soon.

Food and Drink

As the festival opens there will be home-made cakes and tea from the renowned ladies of the village.  

​Later on food will be available from Fabioni's featuring tasty vegetarian and vegan options.  Plus local ice cream with a smile from Mrs Smiley O'Reilly and her ice cream trike.

Bar open all afternoon with beer brewed at our local CAMRA Pub of the Year, The Salutation at Ham, as well as cider, Pimms, wine and soft drinks.

Our licence does not allow you to bring your own alcohol on to the site.

Drinks Beakers

We won't use single-use plastics at the bar.  We have sturdy, branded beakers that you can use all afternoon for £2 then take it home as a souvenir.  Or bring your own beaker.

Weather

The sun always shines in Rockhampton!  But if it doesn't the festival will go ahead whatever the weather.  There is some limited covered seating but if it looks like rain, bring waterproofs and wellies.  We may need to change the acts or timings in the event of very bad weather.

Sun Shelters

We want everybody to be able to see the stage so we’d prefer it if you bring rugs and folding chairs.  We have some marquee space where you can sit in the shade or take a break from the sun.  If you want to put up a small sun shelter that’s OK but please keep it to the rear or sides of the audience space so as not to block the view. You can get an idea of the set up by looking at the gallery.

​Activities

There'll be free participation workshops during the afternoon where you can meet the artists.  For all ages!
