Clean running water will, of course, be available across the site as a free and ample resource. The water system supplies showers, caterers, the sauna and many other essential facilities.

BARS

As Off-Grid is more of a family friendly camp than a festival there won't be lots of bars on site, however it is great to chill with a beer in the evening so there will be licensed alcohol vendors.

As with our other food and drink, at least 80% of the alcohol stocked on site is organic and, wherever possible, locally produced.

All organic wine and spirits bought over the counter will be supplied by Vintage Roots.Vintage Roots are the UK's leading Mail order supplier of organicwines,beers, ciders & spirits since 1986. All our wines are certifiedorganic, they are honest with your taste buds and free from chemicaladulteration. Better for you, better for the environment. They're all just afew clicks away. www.vintageroots.co.uk

SAUNAS

Lost Horizons Sauna will be at Sunrise Off-Grid, with their sauna, showers, chill out space and cafe. Hurrah for being sweaty, then clean.

DISABLED FACILITIES

Disabled Facilities will largely depend on demand, this is a very small event and so we cannot afford to provide a full Green Access and Mobility Area when there may be no one who wishes to use it. If you have a disability or mobility issue please contact us atoff-grid@sunrisecelebration.com and we will do out best to advise and accomodate you. Please bear in mind that as Sunrise Off-Grid is so small it will never be very far to walk to get anywhere on the site.

CAMPING/CAMPERVANS/CARAVANS

Camping is provided as part of the ticket price and is situated adjacent to the main events arena. You may only pitch one small tent next to your campervan, unfortunately due to fire safety laws you cannot have your friends camping around your campervan in tents.

Camper Van areas are situated on another part of the site, away from ordinary camping areas.

Both fields have toilets, water and other basic facilities. Caravans are to be kept in the camper van field and can be towed there before the car is unhitched and moved to the parking field.

SUNRISE ALTERNATIVE CAMPING

Tipis and Yurts - The opportunity to try the Tipi and Yurt experience is available through Hearthworks.. Tipis and Yurts are traditional nomadic tents, that benefit from spacious interiors, an open fire or wood burning stove, and optional furnishings. Great for families or groups of friends.

FLY- PITCHING

Buying a ticket does not entitle an attendee to flypitch at the festival. Flypitch licenses can be bought from the Market Officer between 10am and Midday at the designated flypitch zone (See programme on site). Licenses apply daily only and will need to be repurchased the next day. A new enforcement team will ensure that anybody found trading without a license or outside the designated area will have their items confiscated until the end of the festival.

PARKING

Car Parking is provided on-site in a designated field. All cars cost a set parking fee of £10 (see bookings page for details) which can be paid for with tickets. All public cars are restricted to access to this part of the site only. Live-in vehicles, e.g. Camper Vans, have access to their own area. There is no parking available in the vicinity off-site. All attendees coming by vehicle MUST park onsite or face being refused entry upon arrival. For liftshare and public transport options, please see the Getting Here page

ON-SITE TRANSPORT SERVICES

The site is very small and you are unlikely to need on-site transport. However, we are looking at various options including Horse and Carts or Rickshaws. We will confirm closer to the time

MARKETS, FOOD & DRINK

As an ethical event, we aim to ensure that the products on sale in the marketplace are of the highest quality, fair-trade and organic where possible. We aim to offer a breadth of products from practical to beautiful, inspirational to informative.

There will be a range of food stalls on offer at Sunrise Off-Grid. We can promise a global outlook to whats on offer and that there will be a number of meat and fish options amongst the largely vegetarian/vegan fare. All caterers are expected to offer a minimum of 80% organic ingredients, as to our site-wide policies on this matter. Prepare for your taste buds to be enthralled. There will be a general store on-site, with all the daily basics available including milk, fresh foods, dried foods, snacks, drinks and other bits.

MEDICAL AND WELFARE

The Off-Grid medical centre will host a medical team to deal with accidents, emergencies and any other medical issues that arise.
