EVENT GUIDELINES
ArrivalUpon arrival at an event all customers are asked to have their tickets immediately available for checking, failure to do so may result in an unnecessary delay for themselves and other customers. Customers paying on the gate will be directed to a holding area and processed as soon as possible but priority will be given to customers holding tickets. Curious Pastimes apologise for any delay. Please note that generally we will restrict vehicles entering any site once an event has started. This is in order to help maintain the atmosphere of an event.
After ticket processing customers may be given the option of entering the site to unload or going direct to the car park to unload, depending on the location of the customers camping area(s). The decision of Security is final in all cases.
Upon nearing your campsite(s) please park your vehicle sensibly at the side of the road and do not block traffic. Avoid at all costs driving onto camping areas as this will damage the ground and greatly annoy the Scout's upon whose good will we depend for usage of their sites.
All vehicles left in the Car Park must display a Car Park pass, this is to ensure that should you leave your lights on, your doors unlocked etc. Security can locate you easily to inform you, this will also serve as a re-entry pass; please remember that with all our rules this is primarily for your benefit.
Please understand that all of these rules are there to try to ensure that the weekend runs smoothly for all concerned and not just because we are feeling officious! It is our experience that if the entrance to an event becomes congested and the traffic flow becomes slowed then this has a 'knock on' effect to the entire organisation of the event so please obey the rules and have a thought for other customers and above all have patience.
Please note that we will no longer be able to accommodate people arriving on a Thursday prior to an event. Even if you turn up at the gate we will be forced to turn you away. The only exceptions to this are Portents and Renewal, where for a variable surcharge (see Prices) is required. No customers to have access to the site before 12 noon Friday, unless they pay the surcharge for Thursday. If you pay to come on site on a Thursday the gates are open from 12 noon until 10.00 pm. If for some reason this will cause you a great deal of difficulty then please write in to the office and some accommodation may be made.
The only exception to this ruling being traders we ask that you contact us by phone prior to an event and inform us of your intended time of arrival.
After an Event is Finished
Players may not stay on site after an event departure time without prior arrangement before that event starts, this must be in writing form the Event Manager and is only obtainable for Renewal. If due to unforeseen circumstances during an event, you feel that you need to remain on site after the departure time, then you will need to see the Event Manager. The Event Manager can be contacted through either the Game Organisation Desk or Security.
Please note that nobody else may give you permission to stay on site. Your case will be assessed and the Event Manger's decision will be final in all cases, they may also impose an additional charge for this extra time on site. Please do not appraoch the Scouts directly about staying on site as we have an agreement with all of the Wardens that no permission will be given, unless the Event Manager makes the request.
