Due to the exceptionally hot and dry conditions experienced across the UK this summer, we are closely monitoring the situation. We will confirm closer to the festival whether BBQs and gas stoves will be permitted.


If there is little or no rainfall before the festival, BBQs and gas stoves will not be allowed.


If conditions are deemed safe and BBQs and gas stoves are permitted, they must always be raised off the ground while in use.

Foam earplugs are available at the stages on the pit barrier, festival reception and the bars. You can also buy ACSCustom earplugs in the merch tent or from Metal For Good.

ArcTanGent is not a child-oriented event, and as such, we do not provide children's entertainment.

Absolutely. The system we use is designed to be fail-safe, able to operate without internet or power and has been used flawlessly at hundreds of events around the world. It was built to have no central point of failure.

Just as with a cash transaction, if you think you have been charged an incorrect amount after having made a purchase, tell the vendor immediately and they will be able to correct it. The festival and the trader is unable to rectify this after the event.
