Frequently Asked Questions

Accessibility

Accessibility at Gone Wild is a key focus and we will try and accommodate any accessible needs. This is a temporary event with temporary infrastructure set in a large ancient parkland - that is important to consider when deciding if this event is suitable for you. The terrain is tricky and sometimes uneven and its a big site so you will cover some miles over the weekend. Please contact us if you have any questions prior to your booking as options are limited once you have booked due to tickets being non refundable.

Yes. You are allowed to bring in your own food so that you can safely monitor any food allergies. In addition some of the food vendors will also be food allergy aware and have their own policies in place.

Is there a medical facility on site?

There are two dedicated medical points across the festival. One is by the information tent which is in between the campsite and the main arena and there is a medical team based in the main arena too.

Please do not apply for a pitch in the accessible campsite until you have purchased your tickets.

The accessible campsite has a limited number of pitches available and we take each application into careful consideration. Therefore pitches will be prioritised for customers with mobility needs and their immediate families.

The campsite is located in a position near the main stage and arena so it is not classed as a quiet zone. If you need quieter areas to camp then our general admission camping area may be better suited.

We will have a limited number of powered pitches available, these will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. We will endeavour to accommodate requests where reasonable, please include any further information in your ‘access facilities’ application form.
