- The campsite is approx 300 yards from the concert arena.
- Camp fires and BBQs are not permitted anywhere in the arboretum, including the campsite.
- Rubbish bins will be provided and waste will be recycled wherever possible.
- Parking is not available on the campsite. Cars should be parked in the main car park which is a short walk from the campsite. Entrance to and from the site is from the A433 (Bath Road).
- A valid camping pass and valid concert ticket will give you access to the arboretum on the days you have booked camping.
- Whilst it is great to have songs and music around our tents, please refrain from excessive noise such as amplified music between the hours of 11pm - 7am.
- Dogs are not allowed onto the campsite or the concert arena.
- 'Sky Lanterns' are not allowed on the site as they are a major fire risk and endanger local livestock.
