Yes, Beacon festival staff welcome well behaved dogs on a lead. All dogs must be on leads at all times. Owners are responsible for clearing up after their dog and also ensuring its health and wellbeing while at the festival.

There are no kennel facilities at The Beacon Festival and if the weather is hot it is unsuitable for a dog to remain in a car for periods of time. For this reason Beacon Festival ask you to think before bringing your four legged friend.

There will be an international feel to the plant-based food on offer in the piazza. In addition to tea and coffee there will be ale, cider and cocktail bars.

Although Beacon Festival encourage you to support their food vendors, you are very welcome to bring your own food into the festival arena (although only alcohol purchased on-site will be allowed inside the arena)

• Festival doors open Friday at 5pm. Music and trading 6pm – 2 am.
• Gates open at 9am Saturday morning, with the Kiszone and Workshops starting from 9am, music and Bar trading 12 noon until 2am.

• Beacon Festival prides itself on being as inclusive as possible. They welcome those with disabilities and will strive to make it as accessible and enjoyable for them as possible.
• Please remember the setting is rural farming land, which is mainly grass. Although the main areas are reasonably flat (as flat as grass can be) the location is on the top of a hill and there will be slight inclines in the natural lie of the land.
• All music bands will be accompanied by a sign language interpreter to ensure the music on offer is accessible to more people.
• Your carers can accompany you for free.
