The festival uses a greenfield camping area within the wider parkland, with stages, workshops, camping and live-in vehicle areas on site. The ground is mostly flat, with grassy surfaces, some uneven areas and a slight incline in front of the main stage.

Travel

The X40 bus connects Braziers Park with Reading, Wallingford and Oxford, stopping around five minutes' walk from the festival site. Reading is the most practical rail connection for the onward bus journey, while cycle parking is available on site.

  • Accessible camping is on flat ground, with the main stages and workshop village within about 150 metres.

  • Accessible parking is just inside the main entrance, close to the box office.
