Things to remember if you are bringing a live-in vehicle

Accessibility

Live-in vehicles can be parked in accessible camping or the main live in area, but you must buy a live-in vehicle pass before you come to the site, wherever you go.

Live-in vehicles must fit in a 7m x 5m space

Once you have parked your live-in vehicle you can only leave site in an emergency. Please inform the accessibility co-ordinator so they can help you leave safely. If you leave you can’t come back in.

Campervans can’t be set up in the tent field. Tents can’t be set up in the campervan field unless for very young children.

Sound and Lighting

Strobes are sometimes used at our events. If you would like to know when they will be used email [email protected]

The music can be very loud here and sound does carry to the campsite. Earplugs are available from wristband exchange upon request.

Getting Around

The farm is a small site so nothing is far away. All stages and bars are quite close.

Green Initiatives

This is a working farm so the ground is hilly and rough and can be difficult to move about on.

The site is made up of steep hills and fields.

Wristband exchange is quite flat with both grass and gravel ground but it can be very busy and you may have to wait. If you find queueing hard, let us know.

If you are struggling with the hills on site, speak to our access co-ordinator. For some areas and events, we can offer an alternative path, or cut-throughs.
In wet weather, the site becomes muddy and can make getting around difficult.

When it rains we spread woodchip to make the ground less slippy but that can make it difficult for trikes to grip
Because of the terrain, we cannot guarantee conditions will be passable when bad weather strikes.

The farm is 630 metres from one end to the other. Not all areas of the farm will be in use for all events.

Accessible camping is approximately 200 metres from The Orchard Stage and 80 metres from The Stockyard.

If you are bringing a mobility scooter we can charge it for you but please let us know.

If you are bringing an assistance dog, please let us know in advance. Send proof your dog is registered with a member of Assistance Dogs UK and ensure they wear their harness when working.

The spending area for Assistance Dogs is across the drive from the gate at the top of accessible camping.

There’s not much seating at the farm so you might want to bring a camping chair

If there’s anything we can do to help you getting around at our events let us know.

Accessibility breakdown of the stages

The Orchard is our main stage.
The Orchard Stage is approximately 200 metres from accessible camping.

The viewing platform may be stewarded at night when it gets busy
If you want to use the viewing platform speak to our access team for a lanyard
About Nozstock
We operate a 1+1 policy for the platform – one assistant per booking.
Stages do get very full. At busy times it can be hard to move through this area.
The crowds could feel claustrophobic or be an issue to someone with mobility requirements.
Strobe lights can be used in this venue.

There is a steep slope from the Orchard into the Ital Sounds area.

The Stockyard
