Attendance on site is permitted from 5pm on Thursday. However, Thursday overnight camping will be chargeable (per person)- please see details on the tickets page. You will need to pre-book.

 

The festival  programme does not officially start until Friday at 7pm, so this just enables you to get set-up and settled in after your journey but before the festival starts. Please note; no facilities other than toilets and water will be available on the Thursday.  

STRICTLY NO ENTRY BEFORE 5PM. We kindly request that you DO NOT arrive before 5pm on the Thursday, not even to park up and wait in a queue. Children from the forest school will be on site prior to this and parents will be picking them up. You will be refused entry if you arrive before 5pm. 

Can I stay until Tuesday?

No. Unfortunately this isn't possible. The general public need to be off the site by 3pm on Monday 5th May in order for the staff, stewards and third parties to clear the site. 

If I've bought a day ticket, what time can I arrive?

You can arrive on site from 9am. 

If I've bought a day ticket, can I stay overnight?

Yes, but you need to be off-site by 10am the following morning. 

On-site Dormitory Bunk Beds Available

 There are dormitories available to pre-book for the weekend, for those of you who don't mind sharing a room. We have female only, male only and mixed gender rooms available. The dormitories are are basic, functional space- a room with a comfortable bed but no extras.  No bedding is provided - you will need to bring your own.  Please also be aware that these dormitories are inside the main building and close to social areas where sessions may be ongoing late at night. Bring earplugs! The price on the ticket page is for two nights. PLEASE CONTACT US TO OBTAIN FURTHER INFORMATION

Cash/Cards

Most vendors will only take cash, so please bear that in mind when attending the festival. 

Dogs

Yes. Dogs are allowed on site and in the main marquee (where the concerts take place) but are NOT allowed in any of the venue buildings (which is where some of the workshops/open mic etc reside). If your dog is barking a lot, you may be asked to take them outside of the marquee so the concert isn't interrupted. They need to be on a lead at all times.

PLEASE clean up after your dog and leave the site as beautiful as you found it. 

The line-up has changed, can I have a refund?

The line-up is subject to change. The promoter reserves the right to alter or vary the programme of this festival without being obliged to refund or exchange tickets. You are booking a ticket for the festival, not individual artists. Unfortunately, sometimes the line-up for the festival after promotional materials have been released, often due to circumstances beyond our control. We regret that we will not be able to issue refunds requested due to a change in our artist roster. 

Covid

Currently no restrictions are in place 

Can I bring my tent/trailer tent/caravan/motorhome?

Yes! “Camping” includes all of the accommodation above, as is included in the ticket price. 

Can I reserve a camping space for a friend/family member?

Yes, you (not the festival) can mark out a space for that person, as long as they have already bought a ticket online and you know the space

they’ll need on site, so you don’t take up more space than is necessary.

Can I park my car next to my tent?

Yes.

How big is the site? 

Not big- everything can be easily walked to in under 5 minutes. 

 

Where is the day parking?

Day parking is on site and about a 2 minute walk to the main marquee. 

Is it easy to walk/drive round the site?

Yes. It’s not massively big, so it’s easy to walk around but please bring a torch for walking around at night time, as there are only decorative lights. 

Is there a quiet area I can pitch in?

Yes and No. There will be a designated 'quiet area' but since it's a small site and people will play acoustic music late into the evening, you may still hear it.  So, make sure you bring earplugs with you if you don't want to hear any noise. 

Are there any electrical hook-ups for vehicles?

No, sorry. EHU are not available. 

Is there a drinking water point?

Yes, all water on site is drinking water and there are multiple designated water points on site. 

Are there toilets on site for campers?

Yes. There are fixed mains toilets on site (including one disabled toilet- please bring your own radar key for this).

Is there an elsan point?

Yes, there will be an elsan point for all chemical waste. Please DO NOT put your waste down the toilets, as this goes to a cesspit and not connected to mains sewerage. 

Are there showers?

Yes there are showers. They are located within the toilet block. 

Unfortunately there are no disabled showers on site. Don't forget to bring a towel!

Are there facilities for washing dishes etc.?

No. The festival site is not a designated campsite, so you’ll need to bring your own washing up bowl, kettle and gas hob! 

 

Is there anywhere to store valuables?

No, unfortunately not. Please don’t leave your valuables unattended- lock them in your car wherever possible.

I am disabled so need to camp near to the main building  and toilet- is this possible?

Yes. We have a designated disabled camping area near the marquee entrance, which has a disabled toilet (accessible with a radar key- please bring your own) right next to it. However, you will need to book this with the festival organisers, so please send a message to info@crossoverfest.com to arrange a space. There are no specific disabled showers on site.

 

SITE RULES

*Please note, anyone breaking these rules may be asked to leave the festival site without a refund for their ticket* 

 

​​​FIRES

There will be a communal fire-pit for people to enjoy but fires elsewhere on the site are NOT permitted. BBQs are permitted but only when off the grass. ​​

 

SMOKING

Smoking is NOT permitted in any building or any other enclosed space. ​

 

ALCOHOL

There is a bar on site to purchase alcohol. Only alcohol purchased from the bar may be taken into the marquee Alcohol only sold to over 18s. Anyone inebriated and causing a nuisance will be asked to leave/escorted off site.

 

​​RUBBISH/WASTE/RECYCLING

We hire an skip company, who deals with the recycling after the event, so do not have separate areas for recyclables and non-recyclables. However, we still ask that all rubbish be put in the bins provided and not left on the floor. Also, please take home bulky items with you- We have had to bin items such as giant boxes for a pushchair, broken tables and chairs, camping stoves etc. This means that we need to hire more skips, which will inevitably push up the price of your tickets! Please dispose all of your festival rubbish in the skips. ​

 

NOISE

We do anticipate that people play ACOUSTIC music into the small hours, but ask that all other noise is kept to a minimum to allow campers to sleep.NO  amplified music is permitted on site. There is a designated quieter camping area but this is a music festival  so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.​
