Maid of Stone 2026

Maid of Stone Festival takes place Friday 17th - Sunday 19th July 2026.

Maid of Stone Festival will be held at Mote Park, Maidstone, Kent.

No, but anyone under the age of 18 must attend Maid Of Stone with an adult aged 18 or over.

Adults are not permitted to bring any food or drinks onto the site at Maid of Stone, apart from sealed bottles of water. Parents can bring snacks and a soft drink for young children (no cans, please).

Those camping can bring their own food and drink for personal consumption in the camping areas.

There are currently no limits on rucksack size at Maid of Stone but all bags entering the arena and campsite will be searched by security.

You’re welcome to bring your own seating (folding, camping chairs) and blankets to Maid of Stone to sit on, however, please be aware that these cannot be placed directly in front of the stage because it creates a hazard. You must be behind the barriers, which will be clearly signposted, and not in walkways.

Highly trained Assistance Dogs are the only animals permitted on site at Maid of Stone. Due to possible concerns for animal welfare in the environment (including loud music, smoke, sun, pyrotechnics and fireworks) the festival organisers ask that anyone requiring a highly trained assistance dog to accompany them to contact them first at customer@lucuslive.com.

In the campsite - yes, but no glass bottles above 30ml. You may be asked by security to spray a cosmetic on you to ascertain its contents. In the arena, no glass bottles, liquids or cosmetics are permitted.

The bars and non-food traders (market stalls) at Maid of Stone accept cash and card. Food traders usually accept card only although we are looking at some units to accept cash this year.

Depending on where you park in the car park, it’s between 100-400 yards to the Maid of Stone campsite entrance. The main visitor entrance (non-camping) is on the other side of the site, which will take you around 5 minutes to walk. For those who struggle to walk distances, there is an accessible entrance next to the camping entrance.

Refunds can only be offered if the event is cancelled or postponed, as agreed upon purchase.

The parks postcode is ME15 7RN but that will take you to the park’s main visitor entrance. Follow the signs to Maid of Stone from here. Alternatively, enter Maidstone Leisure Centre into your satnav/phones for exact directions.

If you are travelling by car, the Maid of Stone car park is reached by passing through Maidstone Leisure Centre’s car park, and around the back to the gated field. There will be traffic stewards present.

You will need to purchase a parking ticket from our ticket page. Day and Weekend Parking is available. Motorbike parking is also available.

Please do not park in the leisure centre car park because you will be fined. You must go over the gated threshold and onto Mote Park’s top field. We are not liable nor responsible for any parking fines incurred by parking inside the leisure centre car park.

The Council car park situated within Mote Park’s main entrance is for park users only and closes before the show ends. Any vehicles left there can be removed.

Please note, we strongly advise that you do not park in and around residential areas surrounding the park and doing so will run the risk of you receiving a parking ticket. We are aware of parking attendants patrolling on show days.

Maid of Stone is accessible. However, the entire site is on grass and is at the mercy of the British weather. When the weather is bad they will do their best to maintain walkways and areas in the arena so they remain accessible to all. Mote Park does handle rain particularly well.

If you require a carer to attend Maid of Stone with you, you can apply here. To qualify you must:

1. Have purchased your own ticket (you will be asked for a reference number)

2. Be in receipt of Pip/DLA for your condition or hold a valid Nimbus/Access card that states +1

Carer passes are free and match the ticket you have purchased (day or weekend).

The application process closes 10am 10th July. For more information, please contact access@maidofstonefestival.com

There will be accessible toilets spread around the arena at Maid of Stone. In Access Camping there will be a disabled toilet and an accessible shower unit. If you require a larger area with hoist, there is an accessible toilet at the Mote Park visitor centre a short distance from the main entrance.

The area of general camping closest to the entrance of Maid of Stone is dedicated to Access Camping. There is no specific Access supplement - you will just need a general camping supplement, but priority for pitching is given to those with disabilities and accessible needs.

The usual setup at Maid of Stone includes a raised viewing platform on the main stage and a fenced area for the Firestarter stage. This area is set diagonally and goes right to the barrier to ensure no-one stands in front and blocks the view. Each stage should also have the lovely Access Team on hand in case you have any issues.

The first row of the car park at Maid of Stone is reserved for customers who have purchased a parking ticket and hold a blue badge. Please show both to the traffic stewards on arrival.
