Off Grid Festival is set in woodland - expect uneven, natural terrain. Sturdy footwear is strongly recommended (leave the heels at home).

The event runs until 23:00, so bring layers - it gets cooler after dark. Check the forecast and dress for the weather; a packable waterproof is never a bad idea. There is a cloak room on site to leave belongings. 

In partnership with The Healthy Shop, Off Grid brings a wellness offer like no other festival - rave hard, recover harder. 

On site you'll find wellness smoothies, hydration packs and massage therapists, plus products from brands including Cymbiotika, DIRTEA, Anima Mundi, Kiki Health, Exhale Coffee and Ape Nutrition. 

Pre-purchase a wellness pack to stay hydrated, recover properly and let your hair down guilt-free - you'll have the right things in place to feel great the next day. [Pricing and pre-purchase link TBC] 

This is just the beginning: as the festival grows, they're building towards a full Wellness Village - ice baths, forest meditation and more.
