Our stewards may at their discretion ask customers to reduce the size of their seating area, or to pack away chairs and blankets, if they feel they are causing an obstruction. Limited seating can be found around food outlets across the site.

Bags larger than A4 size are not permitted into the main arena. Campers are allowed bags bigger than A4 into the campsite.
