Packing List

Not sure what to bring? Here are our suggestions!

Packing list

Your ticket!

Our beautiful site has terrible phone signal, so please either print out or screenshot your ticket on your phone - it will make things a lot easier when you get to the Gate.

Photo ID

You must bring your photo ID with you, and the name on it must match your ticket (amend this on Quicket if you need to). Upon entry to the event, your ticket will be checked against it. We also assume a duty of care, to ensure that minors are not consuming alcohol, and reserve the right to check if in doubt.

Food And Drink

You must bring all your food and drink for the event, storage for your supplies and any cooking equipment you require. Cooking is allowed in Free Camping, and fires are permitted in raised fire pits only.

Water

We have drinking water taps throughout the site. We recommend bringing a large container to fill up and store at your camp, as well as a smaller bottle to take around with you during the day. Consider bringing a roller or a cart to help transport large water bottles.

Note that the use of non-biodegradable soap and chemicals is not permitted anywhere on site.

Plate / Cutlery / Cup

Theme camps that gift food or drinks will expect you to bring your own plate, bowl or cup. Top Burner Tip: Attach it to yourself with a carabiner - there's nothing worse than a lost cup!

Drinks

Our participants bring their own soft drinks and alcoholic beverages as there are no vendors on site. Consider bringing extra to gift to one of our theme camp bars!

Smoking

Smokers are required to carry and use a portable ashtray and be respectful of other participants. Smoking is forbidden in all enclosed spaces.

Please ensure you bring adequate rubbish and recycling bags. Please take responsibility for your own mess and set a good example to others. See the LBT guidelines for more information.
