There are no passouts for Party at the Palace. Once you enter through security you cannot leave and come back again.

Make sure you have everything with you that you will need for the day including medicines, money, etc. Re-entry policies will be clearly signposted on the day.

Only bring to Party at the Palace what you REALLY need and can carry.

Bringing the kitchen sink will delay your entry and everybody behind you will hate you as well! So with that in mind, here’s a list of things you can bring and things you can’t:

Please Bring:

• Your tickets – download them onto your phone or print them off.
• I.D. – there is a Challenge 25 policy across all bars.
• Sensible footwear.
• An empty water bottle for filling up at our water stations.
• It’s an outdoor event in Scotland so pack some sun cream and a poncho.
• Chairs and brollies are allowed in the marked zones. Please only use them with consideration to other customers.
• Medication – make sure you have any medication you require with you.

Do not bring:

• NO WHEELS – trollies, wheelbarrows etc
• Tents or gazebos.
• BBQ or Fires
• Fireworks or pyro of any kind.
• Pets / animals
• Professional camera/video/audio equipment with removable lenses
• Drones
• Glass bottles or glassware of any kind
• NO picnics, food or drink allowed

While many find it comfortable and convenient taking in a small folding chair to sit on, they are deemed an inconvenience by others. To strike a balance, Party at the Palace does allow people to bring in camping chairs however they will not be allowed to be positioned directly in front of the stage.

There will be a ‘chair free zone’ in a stewarded area around 50 metres from the stage. There is a very large area beyond that in which you are welcome to ‘park’ your seating for the whole day and you can then of course move closer to the stage when you fancy getting into the thick of it and retiring back to your seats again – just like at the dancin! We would also ask you to think of the environment and take your chairs home with you.

Party at the Palace are keen for everyone to enjoy the event and want to get you all home safely. Your patience on leaving the site is vital to the safety and wellbeing of all those attending the event. Please take your time, follow instructions from stewards and keep to paths and pavements.  Be aware of cars on the main road and drop off points.

Following advice from Police Scotland and in line with other music events this summer, Party at the Palace are obliged to pass on the following information.

In light of recent events, there will be an increased security and police presence at this year's event. All customers and belongings may be subjected to searches.  Those caught in possession of any restricted item will have the item confiscated and may be refused entry. In addition we would ask you to consider fellow revellers; more bags mean more searches meaning larger queues. Party at the Palace will operate a fast track queue system for those without bags to enter quicker.

Small camping chairs will still be allowed in, however they will not be allowed to be positioned in the zone directly between the stage and mixing position.

Please do not leave items unattended at any time and you see anything suspicious, please alert a member of security or police.

Your safety is paramount to the success of the event. Party at the Palace want you to have a great time and we appreciate your cooperation.

Given Party at the Palace's new location aligned with excellent public transport links, they have taken the decision to remove their dedicated parking area. They have always been leaders in their industry for environmental and sustainability policies and this is a continuation of these efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. In recent years, we have seen the number of people arriving by cars drop from several hundred cars per day, down to less than 100 last year. We are confident that these numbers will drop further this year and that the town’s existing car parks and on street parking will have the capacity to cope.

Local taxi companies have been made aware of Party at the Palace and will be operating from the normal taxi stance in Linlithgow on the High Street. It would be advisable to pre-book.
