If you're staying to work on the site you need to check in with reception or the site office to get your wristband
You MUST have a wristband by midday on Friday
CREW CAMPING
Everyone can camp everywhere. Our marked areas are more guidelines than rules. If you don't need your car please move it to the car park after you've dropped off your stuff. You may camp with your car BUT:
- Only if you agree not to move it until it's time to leave.
- Make sure access and emergency routes are kept clear
FIRE SAFETY
Get out - Stay out - Alert Security, Site office or Paramedics.
Stay calm - move quickly - get everyone out and clear from the area.
Bring the correct extinguishers (Wood/paper = water / Electrical = CO2) - and make sure they're up to date
If you use LPG, keep it separate and locked
If you have anything electrical make sure it's PAT tested
CREW BREW
Crew Brew is ONLY for those who are actually working!
Crew brew will be serving tea, coffee & biscuits from Wednesday til Wednesday
Over half the party are crew or crew guests - this makes for a great vibe - but we can't afford to feed you all - Bring your own food and cooking facilities
(Certain HODs, as agreed prior to the event, including security & first aid will be given meal vouchers, to be collected from the site office)
CREW KIDS
Please would you ensure that anyone coming with your crew is aware that, if they are bringing any under 18 year olds, they have to be the parent or court appointed guardian of the children. Children without their parent will not be allowed on site.
At least one of the parents must also be properly registered on the House of Honey website where they can register their children in their records and buy them a kids crew ticket at £5 per child. Failure to do this will mean they will be paying full kids price at the gate. Please make sure that children are registered with their tickets paid for by 10th August
We do this to make sure that we have details of everyone attending on our system - and so that we can provide enough facilities
BANDS
Band parking
There is an artist parking area just behind the House of Honey stage but if it's more convenient use the general car park - or park by your camp if you have precious kit.
Artist liaison
When you've arrived on site send someone to check in with artist liaison. They'll make a note of your stage requirements and explain about getting on and off stage. Please bring any stage plans and channel lists with you

Music - Noise levels
Unless you have an agreement with us and a TEN from the council, music must be at background levels in your location (ask Daniel from production if in doubt). NO pumping sound systems will be allowed! We will need to be very strict on this because of the promises we have made to the Estate and to the Council.
Caterers Wristbands
We will have 2 wristbands relating to the Caterers:
- Red Rip tag bands (Food ONLY) - These will be used for our hard working crew and some performers. Each rip tag should allow the bearer a plate of food (please collect these to settle up with Ben later and so that they are not reused)
- Gold (Food and Drink) - only about 10 of these will be given out and only to KEY organizers and owners of the land. Please allow them free food and drink (within reason! - if you have a problem speak to Ben)
Finances
Please come to the site office on Monday morning to sort out finances before you leave. Ask for Bee or Angela
Rubbish
There will be wheelie rubbish bins & glass recycling around the site. Sat and Tuesday @9AM please ensure that any bins you have been using (or rubbish in bin bags) are on the access road as the council will be coming through to empty them. If you have any large rubbish please ensure that it gets to one of the Skips (locations are on the site map)
Water
If water has been agreed, bring a threaded connector and appropriate hose lengths
Grey Water
Bring enough hose to reach one of the drainage gullies (15 meters should do it) or bring a shovel to dig a soak-away and a piece of strong mesh or grill to cover it (carefully keep the turf so you can leave no trace)
Leave No Trace!
PLEASE will you ensure that your stall area is as clean as you found it when you pack up to go; Litter, bottle tops, fag butts and broken glass can be fatal to livestock and wildlife
