Summer Soul Vibes FAQ's:

Can I bring food & drink to the festival? No - as a small independent business we cannot allow neither food or drink to be brought into the festival arena. There will be plenty of food & drink options available to all who attend on the day.

Is there parking? Yes we have ample parking for over 400 vehicles on the day of each event. If parking tickets are no longer available we are advising attendees to pre-book a taxi to take them to and from the event.

Can I bring a chair? Yes - we are encouraging festival goers to bring camping chairs along with them as the event is outside. Please note that large sun-blocking umbrella's/parasols are NOT allowed in - as this will block the view for other attendees. The John Grose VIP Zone will have limited seating for those in attendance, however, this will be on a first-come first-serve basis.

Will there be cover if it rains? - No - this festival is an outdoor event and we will not be providing cover for everyone. The John Grose VIP Zone will have limited covering, but this will be on a first-come first-serve basis. We are encouraging attendees to bring appropriate clothing and/or coverings for all weather such as umbrellas, poncho's and wellies. Unless extreme weather conditions occur...the SHOW WILL GO ON!!

Accessibility FAQ’s:

Can I buy a 'Accessibility Ticket'? Yes - 'Accessibility Tickets' are available to purchase at the same price as a standard 'General Admission' ticket, by purchasing an 'Accessibility Ticket' it will notify the Venue16 team so we can ensure your day is as enjoyable for everyone involved!

Can I buy a Carer Ticket? Yes - 'Carer Tickets' are available to purchase, simply click on the 'Accessible Admission Ticket' and choose the 'Carer Ticket'. All Venue16 ask is that a PROOF of valid I.D is emailed over to 'marketing@venue16.co.uk' before the event.

Will there be a designated 'Accessibility Area'? - Unfortunately, No - this is something Venue16 provided in 2023, however, despite having an area available it wasn't used and therefore we have made the decision to NOT have a designated area. However, the festival arena is on a flat grass surface and has ample viewing for all attendees - if you would like to get a good spot for the day then please arrive at the earliest available time from when doors open.
