More Info
Is Shynefest wheelchair accessible?

Yes, ShyneFest aims to be accessible to all, providing wheelchair-accessible toilets, and designated camping options near the festival arena. However, as it is an outdoor event, some areas may have uneven terrain, making navigation difficult in certain spots.

Can I bring my dog to Shynefest?

No, only assistance dogs are permitted

What are the shower and toilet facilities at Shynefest?

A combination of portable, permanent, Mobiloo and accessible toilets will be on site.

There is a permanent shower block on site, free to use for all campers. Please note that it is a short walk from the camping and glamping areas to the shower block.

Can I bring a chair and gazebo to Shynefest?

You are very welcome to bring along a chair or picnic blanket. Please do not bring a gazebo into the main arena.

What are my food and drink options at Shynefest?

There will be food and drink stalls serving from Friday afternoon right through to Saturday night, charging reasonable, not silly festival prices! If you are camping there will be breakfast to purchase (included if you are VIP camping or glamping) on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
