The Brit Fest FAQs

The Brit Fest will take place at Ashley Hall Showground, Altrincham WA14 3QA from 15 - 18 July. 

From The Brit Fest organisers themselves:

"It’s the sound of a crowd singing under the evening sky. It’s strangers becoming friends over shared moments. It’s dancing without a care, groups of old friends reconnecting, and mates making memories they’ll talk about for years.

But more than anything, The Brit Fest is about being kind, being present, and being a good human.

Here’s what we believe in:

Be Kind

Kindness is our unofficial dress code. A warm smile, a friendly nod, a helping hand — these are the things people remember long after the music stops.

Look Out for One Another

Festivals can be overwhelming for some. If you see someone struggling, offer them a moment of kindness. If someone’s lost, confused, or just in need of a friendly face — be that person.

Respect the Space

Cheshire and Ashley Hall are beautiful, and we’re lucky to call it home. Let’s treat it with care. Bin your rubbish, respect the land, and leave the space just as you’d want to find it. Celebrate Everyone

No matter who you are, or where you’re from — you’re welcome here. Let’s celebrate our differences, lift each other up, and make this a space where everyone feels free to be themselves.

Make Memories Together

It’s the little things — the laughter, the spontaneous dance-offs, the early-morning coffee chats. Don’t just be here, be part of it. Encourage the buskers. Cheer for the performers. Say yes to the moment.

Lead with Love

Festivals are a beautiful reminder that we’re all connected. So be gentle. Be joyful. Be the kind of person that makes someone’s day better — just by being you.

New to Festivals? You’re in the Right Place

If this is your first time — or you’ve never quite fancied a big music festival before — you’re in safe hands. The Brit Fest is friendly, easy to navigate, and set in a single large field we call the arena, where most of the action takes place. No endless trekking. No massive confusion. Just good energy and great company.

You don’t need to overthink it — grab a tent, a sleeping bag, some warm and dry clothes, and a ticket. That’s it.

Everything else is already there for you — food, drinks, toilets, showers, entertainment, even quiet spaces.

And once you’ve done it once, you’ll know exactly what to expect. For many, this becomes their annual staycation tradition — and every year, the tribe grows a little bigger.

And just a little note…

This all happens in a field — and sometimes that brings a few challenges. Whether it’s a queue, a bit of mud, or something unexpected, please know we’re always doing our best behind the scenes.

If something doesn’t feel quite right, come and speak to a member of our team. We’re here to help — and we’ll do everything we can to sort it and make your experience the best it can be.

No, The Brit Fest is a family-friendly event for all ages.

Overnight access?

The main site gate is closed nightly from approximately midnight to 7:00am. No access is permitted during these hours, so please plan ahead.

Re-entry for live-in vehicles?

🎟 DAY TICKET HOLDERS & NON-CAMPING WEEKEND TICKETS

The Main Music Arena opens daily from 12:00pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. (6pm Thursday) You can however access the car park from 10am. 

Please do not arrive to the arena entrance earlier, as entry is not permitted before this time.

General Arena Policy

For the general public, food and drink are not permitted to be brought into the main Arena from outside. The Arena is home to a fantastic selection of street food vendors offering a wide range of options – from hearty meals to lighter bites, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and kid-friendly choices. A full list of traders will be available on The Brit Fest website closer to the event.

Sealed bottles of water up to 500ml are allowed. 

Cool boxes, large bags, or picnic hampers are not permitted inside the Arena.

Medical and Dietary Requirements

We fully understand that some people have specific medical or dietary needs that may require them to bring their own food or drink. If this applies to you or someone in your group, you are permitted to bring in the necessary items, provided they meet the following guidelines:

Items must be for personal medical or dietary use only (e.g. coeliac-safe foods, insulin-dependent diabetes snacks, feeding supplements, etc.).

Please bring proof of medical or dietary requirement, such as a letter from a GP, a medical card, or an Access Card. This is to ensure a smooth process at the gates.

All bags are subject to search, and security may ask about any food or drink brought in.

If you’re unsure whether your needs meet the exemption, feel free to email in advance at info@thebritfest.co.uk so they can make a note for the team on-site.

Children and Families

The Brit Fest do allow baby food, formula, and child-specific snacks to be brought in for young children. Please ensure these are clearly identifiable during bag checks. Children are welcome to bring sealed cartons or bottles of soft drinks under 500ml.

Campers

Campers are welcome to bring food and drink into the campsite area (including cool boxes) for personal use. Please note that no glass bottles or containers are allowed anywhere on site. You’ll also find a range of food options available in the Campsite Food Court if you don’t feel like cooking.

Yes! The Brit Fest have a wide range of food and drink stalls, including options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets. You are welcome to bring your own water and refillable bottles, but no outside alcohol is allowed.

For safety reasons, The Brit Fest unfortunately do not permit dogs or other pets on site. Given the large crowds, loud music, and unpredictable festival environment, it can be quite stressful for animals, and we want to ensure the safety and comfort of both festival attendees and pets alike.

The welfare of animals is a priority, and we believe this policy is in their best interest to avoid potential risks or distress.

The safety and security of The Brit Fest attendees is top priority. They will have security staff, first aid stations, and medical services available on-site. There will also be bag checks at the entrance to ensure everyone’s safety.
