Lammas Camp Rules
Please read these terms and conditions before applying for tickets. Once you have read these pages, please indicate on your ticket application form that you agree to abide by these rules/conditions. Failure to do so will result in your ticket request being denied.
Tickets & Ticket Reselling
Tickets are limited. We reserve the right to refuse ticket applications without giving a reason. Tickets will be sent by email once payment is made and cleared. You are respectfully requested to pay for tickets within two weeks from ordering. It is vital that you save the ticket email, screenshot it or print it and save it. You can request your ticket to be printed by Cherill and posted to you but you must pay the cost of admin and postage. We estimate this to be £2.50
Tickets must be presented to the Marshalls at the lower gate if requested and more importantly, to the Information/Welcome tent as you check in. You will be given a wrist band which indicates how many nights you are staying for. No ticket = no entry!
The person who orders the tickets is responsible for all members of their party knowing the camp rules!
Day tickets may be purchased on the gate but it is advisable to pre order to avoid disappointment. Day ticket customers must leave the site by 9.00 pm.
Arrival
Please do not arrive before 2.00 pm without prior consent.
Disabled people who may need our assistance, may arrive at 11.00 am by prior arrangement!
Traders may arrive after 11.00 am but must follow the marshals instructions.
On arrival please report to the Marshalls (if they are there) at the entrance to the first field. The Welcome tent will be at the entrance to the camping field. Also, there is a steep hill to climb in your vehicle to get into the camping field, which can be difficult in wet weather. Please follow the instructions the Marshalls will give you about this hill and where you must camp/park. Marshalls will also be in the main events/camping field and you must follow their instructions should they give you any. We will try our best to help you if necessary!
Pitches
There are no set pitches. We cannot save any spaces for anyone and NEITHER CAN YOU! The pitching is on a first come, first choice basis. If you want to camp next to your family/friends, we suggest you arrive together. Also, be aware that some workshops may be noisy. Therefore, if you want a quieter pitch, you may want to consider pitching further away from the marquees and workshop areas. We also ask that your consideration is given concerning noise when quieter workshops are in progress (i.e. those that include meditations).
Water
There are four standpipes which supply cold water only. Please use these responsibly and be aware that the area around the taps may get very muddy! These are the DRINKING water taps. Please, in your own health interests, do not use the water from the portaloos as drinking water!
Toilets
The toilets are eco long-drop toilets and eco bucket type toilets (at the top corners of the field) but we do supply a number of Portaloos. There are also two eco toilets at the bottom of the first field. We also provide gents with a urinal area. There is no hand washing facilities, other than the cold water supply. You are responsible for your own hygiene standards.
If you are using camping toilets, you must use biodegradable toilet fluid only and empty these in the LONG DROP toilets. Do not empty them in the hedgerows! Female Urine upsets the Ewes and this is a nasty thing to do. DO NOT empty them in the Portaloos either! These fill up very quickly and emptying your personal toilets into these will ruin the toilet system for everybody!
Please leave all toilet areas in a clean condition, as you would wish to find them. If you ‘miss aim’ please wipe the seats!
We supply toilet paper for your use, but it would be good, and save us a lot of expense, if you bought your own.
The farmer has also supplied small waste bins in the long drop toilets for you to dispose of sanitary wear, baby’s nappies and any wipes you may use. We will endeavour to empty these bins regularly but should you find them full, please report this as quickly as possible to the staff in the Information Tent.
Showers
There are NO showers or hot water! You are responsible for your own hygiene needs.
Cars
All cars/vans will be asked to park in the first field unless you have a Disability Blue Parking Badge or have been given a Lammas Camp Parking Pass.
We will want to know the reason why you have requested a parking pass! We may require proof of the badge holder’s identity on the site and the registration number of the vehicle. Traders may park near their stalls if storage is needed and do not require a parking permit.
Small motor homes will be allowed on the camping field, but larger ones may be asked to park in the first field, depending on how cramped the field is.
Caravans can park in the main field but your vehicles must go into the first field if required.
This change is due to the cramped conditions of 2014 and the increase in larger vehicles/caravans. Following the Marshalls directions may alleviate the necessity to remove your car from the camping field.
Non – compliance with the parking rules will result in you being asked to leave the site.
Vehicles are parked at owners own risk. The organisers take no responsibility for any vehicle. We suggest that you lock any valuables in your vehicle. The organisers cannot be held responsible for missing items.
Please do not exceed 5 MPH and turn on your Hazard Warning lights when moving around the field in your vehicle. Follow the one way system at all times.
Children
Please be aware that there is a very steep cliff on the field above camp, so do not allow your children to wander unaccompanied in this area.
IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!
Please do not allow children of any age to play on the Hay Bales or in any part of the farm yard, by express wishes of the farmer!
Some workshops may not be suitable for small children. This is entirely at the parents’ discretion but they may be asked to leave if the child disrupts a meditation. Please be aware of this.
Also, please ask your children not to play with posts or poles that we have put on the site. The marquees are not playrooms in the evenings! Do not allow your children to use them as such. Also please do not allow your child to kick a ball against the sides of the marquees, especially when workshops or talks are in session or when the entertainers are performing.
It is also advisable to tell your child/children to not play in the Portaloos for obvious health reasons. Thank you!
Dogs
Dogs are welcome but must be kept under control at all times. There are children and livestock around (and adults!).
All dog mess must be cleaned up and put in the long drop toilets. You must use Eco bags for this purpose! Eco bags will be available if required at the Welcome Tent.
Please be aware of the safety issue with dogs on tethers or long leads. People do not always look for ropes or leads when walking round!
Please do NOT approach any dog without the owners’ permission!
If ANY dog is found off a lead, or if any owner is found not to be cleaning up their dogs mess, they will be asked to leave the site immediately, or to take the dog/dogs and place them in nearby kennels. This is your choice!
Stalls
You may have a stall which comes with an extra charge to your camping ticket. This is clearly labelled on the ticket order form. You may also want to tell us the Name of your stall/business and the products you sell for advertising purposes.
Due to the increase in insurance costs, we ask that you have your own Personal Liability Insurance if you want a stall. This is not necessarily a requirement of having a stall but we would prefer you had cover. We will need to see proof of this insurance and a copy of your certificate must be on display on your stall at all times. If you do not have insurance, you MUST sign a disclaimer on arrival at camp! All stallholders will be required to pay a £30 or £40 Fee (depending on the size of the stall) regardless of insurance or not!
Please note that you are responsible for your own stall and goods displayed on them. The organisers will not accept any responsibility or liability concerning any aspect of your stall. You will also need to bring your own table, chairs etc.
Fire-pits
There are a few fire-pits available to loan, but you can bring your own. However, they must be kept off the grass and at least 3 metres from any structure. You MUST bring YOUR OWN wood to burn or logs can be purchased from Bob the farmer! We do not supply you with logs! Anyone caught stealing logs intended for the central camp fire and paid for by us, will be asked to pay a fine of £20 or asked to leave, at our discretion.
INFORMATION
ANY aggressive or violent behaviour will be dealt with by INSTANT EVICTION and an automatic ban from future camps run by us. You may appeal any ban by contacting the Crew in writing. Crew decisions will be final!
We have qualified First Aiders on camp should you need them. They will be available most of the time. Please go to the Welcome Tent if you require help. The Welcome tent is also the place to go to with any enquiries or complaints. If the welcome tent is closed please go over to the crew area and seek one of the crew. (We all wear badges/Lanyards).
We also have a qualified Health and Safety Officer on site should you require advice.
There are fire points around the camp. Please familiarise yourself with the location of the fire buckets. There is also fire fighting equipment in the Welcome/info tent. In case of a fire, please alert the crew and anyone in your immediate vicinity as quickly as possible.
NOISE NUISANCE
Please note that we DO NOT allow the use of generators in our camp (with the exception of the caterers). We come here to get away from noise and pollution!
We also do not allow the playing of music from a radio or mobile device if it can be heard by other people. In a caravan or motor home is ok as long as those outside cannot hear it.
The farmer has imposed a drumming curfew of 10.30 pm.Please abide by this.
SENDING IN YOUR ORDER FORM
The Ticket application/order form is in the other attachment or is stapled to these notes. You can send in the form to Cherill by email, or by post if you request an address. Please copy and paste the completed ticket order form only (not the rules and regs) into a new document to send as an attachment. If you cannot do this, please copy and paste the order form directly into an email, then edit it and send it to Cherill that way. I will not accept orders sent to me as a photograph (jpeg) or from your cloud service! Neither will I accept order forms that are read only as I have to print each form to bring it to camp in case of emergencies. The form is in Word format and also available in PDF format. If you haven’t got Word, there is a free office app that is compatible with Word, called Open Office. I suggest you get this app. There are lots of free PDF apps available online.
Day Tickets are limited. They are only available to make up the numbers to our maximum head count for each day.
ONCE I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR APPLICATION FORM I WILL SEND YOU THE PAYMENT DETAILS BY EMAIL. Payments made before 1st March will be at the lower rate. Payments made on or after 1st March will be at the higher rate, even if you placed your order before 1st March! No tickets will be sold one week prior to us going to set up camp!
MAKING YOUR PAYMENT
We are only accepting payment by Direct Bank Transfer, or Cash at our local Moot if there is a camp representative available. Payment details will be sent to you once your order has been accepted. Please note that these accounts are my personal accounts and are transferred to our business account once a month.
IMPORTANT! When paying by Direct Bank Transfer please put your NAME in the reference box along with Lammas Camp.
DATA PROTECTION
All emails sent to me for enquiries, ticket orders or anything else to do with camp are electronically shredded within 3 years of each camp ending. This is because we have to keep details for 3 years as we are a limited company. Paper order forms will be shredded after each camp.
All ticket order forms are shredded by a cross cut shredder and are then used to fill my composting bin once we get home from camp.
No other person on the crew will see any of your information except your name and ticket number to check you in on arrival, or in case of emergencies if I am unavailable.
We consider your information to be private and will never share it with any other persons or any companies.
Camp closes at 2.00pm on Sunday
Please leave by then and take your rubbish with you! It is imperative that ALL rubbish be taken away with you. If we find any rubbish left by you, we will refuse to sell you a ticket for future camps.
So in Short:-
Please be kind to one another!
Keep your area pretty.
Respect the environment.
Look after your kids, pets, cars and stalls etc.
HAVE A BLOODY GOOD TIME!
Looking forward to seeing you all,
The Lammas Camp Organisers & Crew.
