WHAT IS THE FESTIVAL SITE LIKE?
The festival site is in the Peak District, on hilly farmland with some areas of short, compacted grass and some areas with longer grass.
There is a hard standing pathway leading from the Access Car Park, Access Campsite and Access LIV Campsite to the Main Arena. Some hard standing pathways and pedestrian routes throughout the festival site have loose gravel.
The Access Campsite is one of the flattest areas of the festival site, in other areas the terrain has some relatively steep inclines.
Ground conditions will be weather dependent. In very hot or dry conditions the pathways can be dusty and after rainfall some areas of ground will become muddy when wet.
