Ticket Details
Django In The Bay Weekend Camping tickets include all of the concerts throughout the weekend and camping for 1 person. Admission is from 1pm on Friday the 22nd of May. We ask that people vacate the site by 2pm on Monday the 25th of May.
Camping is suitable for tents and medium sized camper-vans. Caravans and very large motorhomes may need to book into one of the other nearby campsites which are just a few minutes walk away. Please get in touch if you are unsure.
People are welcome to share tents and camper-vans but each person must purchase a weekend camping ticket ticket. Those with weekend concert tickets only will not be permitted to stay on site. We have secluded bays for camping but these will need to be shared. For this reason we ask that you advise us if coming in a group and if you would like to share a camping bay with that group. Camping bays are approx 10m x 15m and are suitable for approx. 3 or 4 tents.
