    All FAQS >
    What is a Village or Hamlet?

    Villages and Hamlets are additional marquees, tables, chairs and electrics you can hire from Wildfires. There are a limited number of these available. Your Village or Hamlet is the perfect place to gather your community or church, eat together, shelter out of the rain and a central place for hanging out. Villages also come with a fire pit (wood provided daily).

    Please note, if you have registered a group this does not automatically mean you are able to camp together, only villages or hamlets are allocated space and these need to be booked separately.

    Please note applications for Villages and Hamlets are CLOSED for more details please email info@wildfiresfestival.com

    What about Glamping?

    CAMPING MIGHT NOT FOR EVERYONE, BUT WE DEFY ANYONE TO NOT ENJOY GLAMPING!

    Glampers will be located in the exclusive Glamping village where you’ll find all those essential home comforts, including luxury toilets and showers. Treat yourself in the deluxe parlour tent which includes table mirrors, hair dryers & straighteners and feel as fresh as a daisy the whole weekend. The village also has a kitchen tent with access to hot water and a fridge making it easy to grab a snack or a cuppa at any time! More details to follow.

    Glamping tickets will be available soon, watch this space.

    How can I camp with my church?

    When you book your ticket, you can choose to book your ticket with your church in the drop down menu. This does not automatically mean you are able to camp with your church.

    If your church has opted to be part of a village or hamlet you will automatically be placed with them on the camping site.

    If your church is not part of a village or hamlet you will be placed in the General Camping area and we cannot guarantee you will be placed with your church as this is a first come, first serve basis.

    Can I light a fire in the campsite?

    You can bring your own safe camping stoves but fire regulations mean that open fires and low level disposable type BBQ’s are not allowed. Waist-high, contained off-the-ground BBQ’s with wind-protecting side panels are permitted.

    Fireworks, smoke canisters, Chinese lanterns and other similar items are not permitted. Any person in possession of such items may be refused admission or ejected.

    Does my Wildfires event ticket include a camping ticket?

    You’ll need to purchase a camping ticket in addition to your Wildfires event ticket. The camping ticket covers the cost of a pitch for camping but you’ll need to arrange your own tent. Only Students and Adults need to purchase a camping ticket per person.

    How many nights can I camp for?

    All camping is available from 23rd August – 26th August, so 3 nights.

    I have a trailer tent, where should I camp?

    If it’s a small lightweight trailer tent that can be pulled safely by hand, then you can camp on the main campsite. If it needs motorised support, then your trailer tent will need to be parked in the caravan field. You’ll need to purchase a caravan ticket for the trailer tent.  

    Can I pitch a tent alongside my caravan?

    Unfortunately we aren’t able to allow tents alongside caravans. The only exception to this would be a small 2-3 person tent for dependent children.

    Can I attach an awning to my caravan or motor home?

    This completely depends on space once the majority of caravaners are in. We are expecting the site to be busy but please kindly check with the campsite team if you’re able to set an awning up and they’ll be able to let you know if there’s space. 

    I’m coming in a caravan or motor home, can I camp with my friends who are in tents?

    To keep everyone safe, the campsite is a vehicle-free zone. This means that caravans and campervans will be located in their own section of the campsite. Unfortunately if you have friends camping in tents, you won’t be able to have your caravan or motorhome next to their tent. However, you’re free to roam the campsite so you can go and visit them!

    Do I need camping tickets for my children?

    No, this year we are really excited that U18’s can camp free of charge. 

    I’ve booked my camping ticket, do I need to reserve a space for my tent?

    Camping spots are allocated on arrival, and if you are part of a churches or networks, they will be allocated by your team. Please follow signs when you arrive on the campsite. There are no restrictions on tent sizes. 

    Can I park next to my tent?

    To make everyone on-site as safe as possible, our campsite is vehicle free.

    When you arrive at Wildfires, you will be directed into one of our designated car parks for campers. You’ll need to carry your luggage from there to your camping pitch.

    Before finding a place to pitch you’ll need to visit the camping ticket gate to collect your wristbands, pick up a programme and ask any questions. The campsite team will be on hand to direct you and help you to settle in. If you’re registered disabled and need to camp in the disabled campsite please tell the camping team on arrival.

    Please note that arriving later may mean a slightly longer walk to get to the campsite.

    What time can we arrive to camp at Wildfires?

    You can arrive from 12pm Friday 23rd August.
    When you arrive please follow signs to Wildfires campsite.
