Where is it?

​

Voodoo Festival is located at Crouchers Orchards/The Cider House Kitchen, look out for the signs when driving. From the A27 at Chichester, take the exit towards the Witterings from the Stockbridge roundabout. Drive PAST the entrance to Crouchers Hotel, the festival entrance is just beyond that, on the left hand side. If you get to the entrance to the Cider House Kitchen Restaurant carpark, you've gone a little too far.

Yes, a map is available on our website here and will be printed on a large sign at the event.

​

I cannot make the festival now; can I get a refund?

​

Sorry but we are not providing refunds, please see Skiddle for T&C’s. Anyone trying to re-sell tickets on our own Social Media pages will most likely be removed because ticket scammers operate in this way, so we cannot allow people to try and sell tickets in this way. Tickets bought or sold not directly  through the Skiddle app may be invalid. Skiddle offer a ticket re-sell facility via their App/website, but only once an event sells out. 

​

Can I leave and re-enter the site during the day?

 

Yes, you can, please make sure you keep wearing your wrist band and note there is no re-entry after 9pm

​

Can I bring my pet to the festival?

Can I bring my children to the festival

​

This festival is strictly over 21’s only, so no children allowed.

 

Will the festival go ahead in poor weather

​

Yes, rain will not stop play and living in the UK we are all used to this potential. There are plenty of tented areas to shelter from the rain and continue dancing in. However if the weather is very extreme with high winds, the welfare of our customers and staff is paramount so in the very unlikely event of adverse weather conditions we would seek safety advice and make a decision based on the safety of all patrons and staff. In the very unlikely event that the event would need to be rescheduled, all tickets would be valid for the rescheduled date, or refunds offered.

​

Is there somewhere to watch the Euros?

​

Yes, should England still be in the competition, we will provide coverage of the England match(es) only for your viewing pleasure in the TV/Chill lounge.

​

Can I buy a festival ticket on the day?

​

As a responsible event organiser, it is necessary to make sure we have enough staff and facilities for the public numbers of attendance. So we ask you to please buy your tickets at least several days in advance as this helps us to ensure we have the right number of security, staff and toilet facilities for the tickets sold. So the answer is - possibly, yes, you may be able to buy a limited number of tickets on the door, but we cannot guarantee this. It will depend on the level of staffing and toilets that have been decided upon several days before, based on the ticket sales at that point. So we urge you not to buy last minute - but please buy in advance where possible to avoid any disappointment. And you will also need to buy a car park pass if you want to park on site. They may be available on the day if space, but this cannot be guaranteed.

 

Can I have a stall on the day?

​

Yes, we still have some availability for stalls, however these are proving popular, so don't hang around! You will need your own Gazebo & table/display equipment, Public Liability Insurance and will need to complete a booking form with Risk Assessment section, and pay the pitch fee. For more info, please email Emma on emma@media-circus.net 

 

Can I bring camping chairs, rugs and mats?

​

There will be plenty of seating provided including wooden garden tables & chairs, bean bags and garden rugs, but of course feel free to bring your own rugs and mats. No camping chairs or folding chairs as these could be used as a weapon. Please also make sure you take them home with you, even if returning the next day.
