BLOODSTOCK opening standard campsites 1 day early

BLOODSTOCK Introduces Early Opening for Standard Campsites to Enhance Experience and Ease Congestion.


Limited Early Arrival Add-On Tickets are now available.


Exciting Club Nights Announced for April & May


Gain an Extra Day of Festivities for Just £20 (+ booking fee)


In anticipation of potential congestion and scheduled roadworks around Catton Park, BLOODSTOCK is taking proactive measures to ensure a smoother festival experience. Recognizing the inconvenience of traffic delays, and in the spirit of adding more excitement to the event, we're thrilled to announce that all standard campsites will open one day earlier this year, starting at midday on Wednesday, August 7th.


This limited early opening aims to stagger arrivals and alleviate congestion, allowing festival-goers more time to settle in and enjoy the festivities with friends.


To enhance your early arrival experience, we're setting up a cinema on the Midgard village green for Wednesday evening screenings, along with a variety of amenities including bars, food stalls, premium coffee options in the Ironwood campsite, and evening entertainment featuring inflatables and DJs. Additionally, the supermarket and Fat Frank’s camping shop will be open in Midgard, catering to any last-minute needs.


Considering purchasing an Early Arrival add-on ticket? Here's what you need to know:


  • You must have or will be purchasing a standard weekend ticket (including those with campervan tickets).

  • You are not traveling via a Big Green Coach package.

  • You will not be camping in the Serpents Lair VIP or Accessible campsites.

  • Tangerine Fields pre-erected tent package holders (located in the Asgard campsite) can also join early arrivals on Wednesday from midday by purchasing the Early Arrival add-on ticket.


Standard campsites include Asgard, Valhalla, Midgard, Ironwood, Jotunheim, Hel, and for families or those seeking a quieter experience, Ragnarok. Vanaheim will also be open for campervan ticket holders.


Please note, the arrivals shuttle from Tamworth train station will not operate on Wednesday.

Early Arrival add-on tickets are available for £20 + booking fee for those who have already purchased a standard weekend ticket. Alternatively, you can purchase both together for £205 + booking fee if you haven't secured your standard weekend ticket yet.


These limited Early Arrival add-on tickets will be on sale on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9am BST tomorrow, Friday, April 5th, 2024.


Accessible campsite patrons and Serpents Lair VIP patrons with VIP parking are still required to arrive from Thursday midday onwards. This arrangement is necessary to streamline traffic flow and ensure the completion of site preparations before opening these campsites.


BLOODSTOCK deeply appreciates your cooperation and understanding as we work closely with the licensing council to prioritize the safety and efficiency of all patrons on-site.
