Please aim to arrive in good time. Whilst the SatNav might show a relatively quick journey time for a Sunday morning, there are literally hundreds of other children and families driving to the festival so there is always a traffic jam once you get near, and the parking can be a short of a walk from the venue itself. Car sharing is an excellent idea if you can arrange it. If you are struggling to make plans to get to a Festival, let your Team Manager Ali know as we may be able to get you to car share with another family.

There’s sometimes time standing around between games, so camping seats are welcome for legs large and small. Books, newspapers can help to pass the time for parents – the children always seem to find things to do.

There’s always food available at festivals (burgers, bacon butties etc) but if that’s not what you/your child would go for, a packed lunch and nibbles are worth considering. Whilst a water bottle is a necessity, most children at festivals are hot chocolate-powered!

When the weather is extreme we may cancel sessions but a playing in a bit of light rain is quite normal! Do bring a brolly to stand under whilst watching when it’s wet. It’s also a good idea to bring a couple of old towels to dry kids off before getting into the car, or to sit on to keep the mud off the seats.

Skins or other thermal tops/leggings are well worth wearing (for kids and adults!) – they add warmth and a little protection. No zips or tags that could snag or catch someone! A spare fleece, trackie bottoms, coat are all good for keeping warm (and dry) in the time spent between games.
