Please ensure you bring no more than you are able to carry to the campsite, for health and safety reasons, cars have to be parked away from our main camping areas. It is a very short walk.

Yes. If you are bringing a campervan, caravan or similar live-in vehicle please purchase a live-in vehicle pass. It will save you time if you do this in advance although you can do this on the day if necessary.  We aim for each live-in vehicle pitch being around 5m x 6m, although there may be slight flexibility on this. We try to avoid mixing tents and live-in vehicles as much as possible although reasonably-sized awnings are fine. See tickets page.

There is a communal fire to toast your toes, but please do not build your own camp fire anywhere. Do make sure you bring enough warm bedding to avoid being nippy at night. You need to bring all of your own camping set up. A camping chair or something to sit on. There’s no light pollution, so bring a normal torch or UV torch for late-night trundles. Waterproof clothing is always useful in the British weather, fingers crossed we don’t need them! If you’d rather glamp, there is more information about this on the website.

Walking shoes or boots will be essential for the forays some of the terrain is uneven and steep. Be prepared for a weekend camping, outdoor clothes and wet weather gear in the event of rain. Warm clothes and an extra blanket at night. Snacks and a water bottle. We're asking people to take their own rubbish home so please consider what you bring in site. Leave no trace.

Personal campfires (for either cooking or warmth) are not allowed anywhere on site – we provide communal fires instead. Please do not light candles or solid fuel fires inside your tent at any time. Always be mindful of fires of any kind.

A comprehensive selection of carefully selected food, including vegan and gluten-free options. To further reduce our carbon footprint, we have made the decision to not serve meat or fish.

For any allergies or dietary requirements, please check with the individual vendors.

from You can bring all of your food preparation and cooking utensils to self-cater, but we do not allow open-fire cooking or BBQs. Keep camp stoves away and out of tents, placed on a stable surface.

If you choose to bring drinks, we request that you drink responsibly.

We're asking you to recycle all that you bring and leave no trace! Please limit the amount of glass and plastic waste; decant and remove any packaging before arrival.

Our workshops, talks and campsite are accessible we are on natural land (Meadows) but the Foray's (Mushroom ID walks) will be on some uneven ground and difficult terrain. If you have any concerns please email atfungievents@gmail.com

Yes, we have accessible toilets. An accessible toilet will be in the designated accessible camping area. To remain as sustainable as possible, we use compost loos throughout the event to avoid using chemicals. Many of the display mushroom substrate blocks get broken down inside the compost loos at the end of the event. Fungi helps speed up the process!

Showers with hot water will be available.

There is no ATM on site; all stall holders and food vendors will accept card payments. Cash may be accepted by some stalls and food vendors.
