CLEAN FIELDS

Do you still need your Clean Fields ticket? If no longer required, could you please return them to Skiddle in order for us to allocate to other festival goers?

Clean Fields will be situated in the Green camping area only. So, if you’re staying in the campervan area, any glamping areas, disabled area or red camping – you do not need a Clean Fields wristband. Please return unwanted Clean Fields tickets to Skiddle to make them available to waiting customers. You can return these via Skiddle’s Re:Sell facility by visiting your Order History at skiddle.com/orders or you can call Skiddle on 03333 010101 to do this.

To pitch your tent in Clean Fields you need to adhere to the agreement everyone in Clean Fields keeps (and if you don’t adhere to it, we will have to ask you to move to another camping area):

– Clean fields will be spotless when you arrive. Please keep it like that during the event and leave it that way when you leave.
– Everything you bring into Clean Fields, you must remove or dispose of in the appropriate bins provided.
– All camping equipment must be taken away from the festival or left at the gate in the charity compound  — please don’t drop it in other camping areas.
– Spread the love — make friends with your camping neighbours and offer help to anyone who needs it (ie the first time tent builders)
– Keep an eye on your neighbour’s tent if they are absent
– Share your food and drink around
– Don’t allow under-aged people to drink alcohol
– Keep it peaceful — don’t keep your neighbours awake with bongos!

Campervan/caravan pass holders or glamping area campers should not be Clean Fields wristband holders ALTHOUGH we would very much like everyone to stick to the Clean Fields principles!

If you hold tickets to Clean Fields and do not need them, please return unwanted Clean Fields tickets via Skiddle’s Re:Sell facility – visit your Order History at skiddle.com/orders or you can call Skiddle on 03333 010101 to do this.

PLEASE NOTE: All those camping in Quiet Camping – the clean fields rules will also apply in this area. So if you are planning to camp in quiet area, make sure you adhere to the agreement above.

TOO MANY COOKS

HandMade Theatre are bringing their brand new show ‘Too Many Cooks’ to Bella this year, based in the kids area. A new interactive family show full of food and fun!

‘In this tasty show we encounter three food enthusiasts as they battle it out to win Best in Show, with prize winning veg, best bakes and the worlds smelliest cheese. We also meet a team of whacky waiters with their haphazard tomfoolery, ready to serve you with tea and treats. Set in a specially converted food van, overflowing with handcrafted goodies and colourful costumes. So pull up a chair and join us in the ‘Too Many Cooks’ culinary café’.

“Too Many Cooks is a sizzlingly scrumptious show jam packed with tasty tunes, popping puppets and a lot of silly sausages! No ordinary theatre show, this culinary delight will get your taste buds going. Suitable for ages 0-100.”
