Yes, located in a field in the castle grounds. Spaces are limited and you will need to book a pre-paid car park ticket online at the cost of £5. Your parking ticket is restricted to your session time.

Dogs are welcome on all sessions but at a limited capacity. It is essential to book a free dog pass online and adhere to the following requirements:

• Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times.
• Not everyone likes dogs, so only well-behaved dogs are welcome.
• Bring your poop bags and make sure it’s binned.
• If your dog’s behaviour is unruly or dangerous to other dogs or customers, you may be asked to leave at the discretion of the events team.
• We reserve the right to turn dogs away at any time if we believe they are at risk of causing stress, anxiety, or danger to themselves, other dogs, or people on the day.

We open come rain or shine, and rest assured we have lots of undercover areas pitched under canvas canopies. These areas are protected from the weather, however not 100% waterproof — especially if the rain is horizontal! We are an outdoor venue so we strongly advise dressing appropriately for the weather. “There's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing.”

We run our event in sessions. Your session time will correlate to the time on the ticket. If you want to stay longer you can purchase multiple sessions or even let us know on the day that you need more time and we can try to fit you into the next session.

It is strongly advised that you buy your ticket in advance as most of our sessions run at full capacity. However, we do take walk-ins and always do our best to squeeze you in if we can. We cannot guarantee entry if you haven't pre-bought a ticket.

We do not offer refunds or exchanges on tickets.

It happens to us all, don't worry! As long as you arrive within your session time, you will be allowed onsite.

We have a basic campervan field with toilet facilities which is £25 per night.
(Sorry, no tents.)

We are a cashless event and we advise that you bring a card as well as a phone just in case you run out of battery. The Fire Kitchens are contracted not to take cash so we ask that you respect the event’s terms and conditions and be ready with your card.

Food and drink is ordered directly from the trader.

Although we welcome children within our day sessions, MABON is not orientated around family activity. Evening sessions are adult only, which will be clearly labelled as such at the time of purchase. Friday / Saturday night sessions are reserved for 16+ years. Children must be accompanied by an adult and supervised at all times. If you are attending one of the sit-down feasts, you will need to purchase a place at the table for your child.

If property gets handed in or found onsite we will keep it safe for you.
