We have a donation link on the ticketing site. https://share.google/ixQ3bQZwtASVWPEGq It has become increasingly difficult with rising costs to put on events like this. We put on an amazing amount of free entertainment and this will help us pay for this amazing event, ensure its future for years to come and hopefully support some local foodbanks at the same time. We will also have collection buckets around the site on the day. These are entirely voluntary as we want this to be a festival anyone can come and enjoy.
Unfortunately not. Please understand that the public buying drinks at the festival is vital to help us fund it and ensure the future of the event. Our drinks are priced fairly, unlike some other festivals so please help support us.
Please don't bring food from outside the festival. As above the event relies on people buying food and drinks on site. We have good quality food at fair prices. Also we have traders selling award winning street for from around the world and very diverse food types. There is amazing quality food to enjoy at reasonable prices.
Yes.
Due to the expected crowds please don't bring anything that could be of danger to others including weapons of any kind, smoke bombs, flairs.
Yes the site is flat, so very accessible. The Big Top has a small raised area for disabled people and we have disabled toilets.
No over 18s only.
The festival takes place at Walpole Park in Gosport, PO121ND. It’s easy to reach via public transport: regular buses run from all around Portsmouth, or you can take a train to Portsmouth & Southsea Station, which drops you near the Gosport Ferry Terminal. From there, enjoy a quick 4 minute and 30 seconds ferry ride with Gosport Ferries, followed by a short walk to the park. There are also direct bus routes to Walpole Park from across Gosport and Fareham.
Yes dogs that are under close control and don't mind crowds and loud music are welcome. However it is probably not wise to bring dogs to the Big Top or Underground Overground in the evenings.
Drugs if any kind are not allowed. If you are found with drugs or believed to be under the influenced of drugs you will not be allowed entry and will be removed if already inside.
Seats are allowed daytime, but definitely not in the Big Top for evening events.
No the big top will be cleared at 5pm and tickets needed after that time.
