If you are arriving in a vehicle you should approach the event from the South / A303, leaving at the Micheldever Station exit. Follow event signage towards Overton and enter the site at Gate A1 (What3Words///piglets.taller.twice) or Google Maps link here. From here you will enter the event site by walking to Production.

Do not approach the event site from Overton Village – this will cause delays and congestion.

If you are taking public transport, we recommend heading into Overton or Basingstoke and getting a taxi to the event site from there. Overton Train Station is approx. a 10-minute drive to the event site, and Basingstoke is approx. a 20-minute drive.

There is a designated taxi drop off and pick up, which can also be used if being dropped off by a friend or family member. Direct the driver to Gate A1 during build and break days or to gate A2 during the event live days (Friday to Saturday). From here follow the signs to production.

Please ensure you report to the Production Office, next to Red Campsite, before starting work at the event.

We will send arrival packs via email in early August.

Car Parking for staff will be in the red car park, accessed via gate A1. All vehicles must have a completed vehicle pass, printed and displayed in the windscreen.

Vehicle passes will be sent with arrival to site packs in early August.

If we have agreed to book accommodation for you, information about where you are staying, check in times and other info will be emailed in early August.

If you have any questions about accommodation or are not sure if we are providing it for you, please contact Sophie Matcham.

If you are staying onsite in your own tent, caravan or campervan please make sure you have confirmed this with Sophie. Unless otherwise agreed you will be camping in the red campsite, located near the production compound.

If you are a feature manager or your role requires you to be out on the event site during lunch service, you will be provide with a packed lunch instead of crew catering.

We recommend you bring your own snacks with you, in case you get hungry in between mealtimes.

Please bring your own reusable bottle. There are plenty of water refill points across the event site. This is inline with our Sustainability Policy.

During build and break periods please remember that the event site is effectively a building site and will be operating under CDM regulations. It is therefore mandatory that you bring and wear a high-vis vest. Should you not have one, there will be available some to buy at the Production Pad on arrival to site.

Please ensure you wear appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes during the build and break periods. During the event open periods please dress smartly but for comfort.

Having wet weather clothing (wellies, waterproof jacket and trousers) is highly advisable, as is having a sun hat available if needed.

If its sunny please don't forget to put on sunscreen, cover up and drink plenty of water.

If you are in a public facing role, you will be provided with a branded t-shirt and/or a hoody.

All radios are to be collected from the Production Office, and must be signed out and returned everyday.

Please remember what channel you are on and if you go to another channel to speak to someone switch back to your channel so we know where to contact you.

Please only use the radio if essential and keep all conversations to a minimum. Think carefully before you speak.

Be aware that many other people, including the public could be listening into your call.

Please make sure you wait for someone else’s conversation to finish before you start yours.

If you need to have a long chat with someone on a radio please advise your fellow user to go to the chat channel to have a more detailed conversation – but please remember to switch back to your operating channel once you are finished.

If you see an emergency turn to channel 1 and report it.

Radios cost £500 to replace. DO NOT lose them or you will be asked to pay for the replacement cost.

Ahead of arriving onsite, you will be sent a briefing document for your role.

For some roles we will be holding a pre-event online briefing. A meeting invite link will be sent out for in due course.

We will have 24/hr medical cover on the event site from Wednesday 20th to Monday 25th August. The medical tent is within the FoodFest field, which is located next to the campsite/event site entrance. We recommend you making yourself familiar with the location.

During the build, break and event live periods, there will also be a first aid point and defibrillator at the Production Office.

If you come across an individual who is in need of first aid between Thursday 21st and Sunday 24th, please notify a member of the Event Control Team on radio channel 1. At all other times please contact the Production Office on radio channel 2.
