CAMPING

Camping & Accommodation

Colne & Nelson Rugby Club is our official campsite for the Festival, as well as doubling up as an Official Roadhouse.

Please note that buying a camping pass does not include access to any of the official venues. Tickets/wristbands for these will need to be bought separately. There are regular cleaning schedules and campsite security throughout the duration of the Festival.

Pitches are allocated on arrival by staff at the campsite, requests to move or re-locate once allocated must be made to the staff at the campsite. The Festival has no control over pitch allocation. The site is managed by the Rugby Club for the duration of the Festival.

There is hard standing space for 30 pitches, theses will be allocated on first-come first-served basis to those who are booking Full Festival Camping passes from the Thursday to Tuesday.

We do allow well-behaved dogs onto the campsite, and as a responsible owner we would ask you to make sure that you clean up after your dog. We do not allow any breeds of dog listed under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.

At this current time this includes:

  • Pit Bull Terrier
  • Japanese Tosa
  • Dogo Argentino
  • Fila Braziliero

The Festival organisers/Rugby Club reserves the right to refuse admission to anybody attending the Festival with one of the aforementioned breeds, along with any dog that is out of control or clearly showing signs of aggression.

Breakfast and homemade hot meals are available at the campsite, which are provided by the Rugby Club; payable directly to them. There are plenty of takeaways, restaurants, and other eating establishments in Colne town centre, just ask one of the campsite staff or ask at our festival information points and we’ll be happy to recommend places for you.
