The official Woofstock weekend festival opening time is 4.00pm on the 16th June 2023.

Campers and Glampers can access the site from 12pm on Friday 16th. However, we appreciate you may have had to travel some distance to the event so if you turn up slightly earlier we will not turn you away but you may need to sit in your vehicle and wait.

Day visitor car park opens at 9.15 on both Saturday and Sunday. Main gates open at 10am on both days.

The weekend festival ends 6.30pm on the 18th June. For up-to-date event timings, please check the website under the tab event timings.

Throughout the weekend, you will be well fed and watered. We have a wide range of quality food providers setting up stalls at Woofstock UK in 2023 to cater to all tastes. We also have a good mix of both alcoholic and soft drink providers coming too. It goes without saying that we will also be providing water troughs for dogs – both around the site and in the chill out zone. There will also be some dog ice cream for sale (yes, I know, we’ve thought of it all).

Absolutely not. There are around 600 dogs who attend Woofstock even one bitch in season at the event could cause aggression in male dogs and also cause your dog to be scared and uneasy.

We do not permit extendable leads at Woofstock. Your dogs lead should be non-extendable and securely fixed to the collar or harness. If you have an extendable lead at Woofstock you will be required to purchase a non-extendable one on site.

This is for a number of reasons including you cannot control your dog correctly on an extendable lead, if you allow the lead to extend it could cause injury to others, if your extendable lead breaks then chaos could follow.

You are free to bring your own food into the camping and glamping area although we do encourage you to support our food suppliers. They have kept their prices reasonable so please consider using them. You are not permitted to bring your own alcohol into the event. You can consume your own alcohol in the camping and glamping area if you are staying for the weekend.

Yes siree, there will be standard toilets, accessible toilets, and VIP toilets.

There are both camping and glamping facilities on site. The glamping package includes a weekend VIP ticket. If basic camping then please purchase your weekend ticket at the same time as your camping ticket so we don’t have to search for your weekend ticket order.

We have no recommendations but google is your friend. We would however be over the moon if you chose to stay with us on site all weekend.

All tickets will be collected on the gate. make sure you bring your booking confirmation or save the email sent upon booking and show to the gate staff.

As long as the attendee has your booking confirmation he or she will be fine.

Yes, as long as the attendee has a copy of your booking confirmation.

Yes, you can also show your proof on your phone.

Oooh, risky. We recommend you buy your tickets in advance as we can’t guarantee there will be any left on the day. We are pretty paw-pular you know?

Fireworks are a definite no-no and we also encourage you not to bring camping stoves or any other cooking devices. If you do please be careful not to damage the field or set fire to everything!

The safety of both humans and animals is paramount so any person disregarding the above will be asked to leave the festival.

In addition, all dogs must be kept on leads at all times unless in the designated off lead area. Only let your dog off lead in this area if they have good recall as the area is not secured by high fencing. The leads must be non-extendable leads!
