Camping and Accommodation

Campsites becoming communities

From up and down the country; campers pitch up together as neighbours for the weekend, rubbing shoulders with old friends and new.

You can camp on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You only need to purchase one camping ticket per person, regardless of whether you choose to camp for 1, 2, 3 or 4 nights. Everyone camping will need a camping ticket, including children, babies, and personal assistants.

Your event ticket is not included and will need to be purchased separately.

You will not need to purchase a camping ticket if you have purchased a Glamping tent or Rent-A-Tent as the camping ticket is included within the price.

Facilities

We have lots of toilets and plenty of showers, which are free of charge and available to all campers across the weekend.

Across the campsite we have sinks for you to wash up, standpipes for filling your water containers and multi-tap units for brushing your teeth!

TROLLEY SERVICEIn attendance at the Big Church Festival will be a trolley hire service to help you carry all your kit from your car to where you decide to camp. Our trolley pick up point will be located in the car park, near the entrance to the campsite. Prices and further information will be available closer to the event.

CARAVANS AND CAMPERVANS

We want you to be as comfortable as possible so campervans and caravans are very welcome at the Big Church Festival.  We are selling 6m x 6m and 6m x 9m caravan pitches that will be individually marked out. We will be engaging a professional parking company to help site each caravan.

You will need to buy a camping ticket per person as well as a caravan/campervan ticket for every caravan/campervan you bring.

See info below for Electrical Hook Ups!

ELECTRICAL HOOK UPS

Electrical hook-ups are available for the weekend for caravans/motorhomes/campervans only. The cost is £75 per caravan. This gives you power from Thursday until Monday. You will need at least 10m of 16amp cable to reach the nearest power source. You will need to purchase an electrical hook-up through our website when purchasing your caravan ticket. All power must be pre-booked as you will be allocated a specific space according to your booking.

If you have a specific medical need and require an electric hook-up, please email [email protected] with as much information as possible so that we can review your request. Please include relevant documentation such as a doctor’s note.

Please note that those requiring electrical hook-ups for medical reasons will need to be coming in a caravan or tent and will need to camp in the Caravan field or Disabled Campsite as this is the only area where electrical hook ups will be available. Upon arrival, please make one of the campsite team aware by showing your e-ticket that you have been authorised for an electric hook-up for medical reasons so you are then directed to the correct place.

When requesting power please be aware that the site is powered by generators, it could go off at any point so we can’t guarantee the power being on permanently during the festival. Should a generator’s power switch off one of our engineers will be working to get it on again as soon as possible.
