General Facilities

Identification:

All persons aged 18 and over will require photographic identification. The only forms of ID that we will accept are a passport or a drivers license. Please ensure that you have these available when entering the festival site or you will be refused admission.

Camping Facilities

Camping is available from Saturday night into Sunday morning at a cost of £5 per person.  Camping and parking is in a separate area approx 10 minutes walk from the festival site.

 Patrons should go straight to the parking and camping area, as this is where you will receive your festival wristbands.

The Feugh Fest management is working closely with the Police and Up Front security to ensure that everyone involved in the festival has an enjoyable and safe time. So, there are a few rules which we hope will help this to happen:

Anyone with drugs will be reported to the police.

No glass bottles. Please don't bring any with you. They are dangerous and will be confiscated.

Please don't bring anything that would cause unnecessary rubbish.

You may be searched at the entrance for any items that may be used in an illegal or offensive manner - if any such item is found on your person it will be confiscated.

Any person(s) suspected of carrying out illegal and/or offensive activities onsite may also be searched and face eviction.

No sound systems, fireworks, flares, large fires or burning of plastic will be allowed on site.

Using fireworks on the site will result in the person being ejected from site and materials confiscated.

No unauthorised tape recorders, professional film or video equipment are allowed onsite. Cameras for personal use are welcome.

Once last band has finished security will ask everyone to go politely, the bar will stop serving at 23:30.

If you're worried about something being stolen, don't leave it lying around. Leave valuables at home!

If you are unfortunate enough to be a victim of crime, report it to the Police HQ where you can get a crime record for insurance purposes. If you have information about a crime, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

We hope to provide a number of camping equipment supplies on site from a local outdoor equipment retailer. We will update this section with information as soon as it becomes available.

Children:

Things to Remember when Bringing Your Kids to Feugh Fest 2008

All Children aged 12 and under go free but have to be accompanied by an adult over 18. Please remember, all adults need to have photographic ID with them, which will be shown to the stewards alongside your ticket in exchange for a festival wristband.

The main concern for anyone bringing your kids to Feugh Fest will be the fear of becoming separated from them. The best advice to give to your kids is:

Don't go off with strangers or anyone without telling you first.

If they get lost ask for help from the police, a security steward, any Festival staff with a radio, another adult with children.

Write your mobile number on your kid's arm, then if they do get separated from you, it's easy for a Feugh Fest official or the Police to reunite you!

All staff will be on the look out for lost or distressed children and if the parents cannot be found near by the child will be taken to the Central Control Point, which will be clearly marked as the lost children collection point.

There are NO creche facilities. YOU should make arrangements within your group for someone to be supervising your kids at all times.

Drugs:

No Illegal substances of any kind is permitted on the festival site or on the camping area. Any drugs found on your person will be confiscated and you may face criminal prosecution.
