Sign of the Times Festival was conceived as an effort by a group of promoters and music lovers, to deliver first-class quality entertainment, from sensational recording artists, and at a great price!

We're fans ourselves and want to see live music remain as accessible as possible to everyone, which is why we keep our prices as low as possible, for such brilliant line-ups!

After a fantastic first 2 years, Sign of the Times is back on 16th and 17th June 2023 and will bring you a diverse range of legends from rock, indie, blues, new wave, folk-punk and more, and all across two big stages - one outdoors and a second stage in a huge big top.

As well as two stages of great music, there will be a number of licensed bars serving a great range, and food from all over the globe and we will be increasing the range of food and drink available in 2023.

Parking is FREE and upon your arrival, our Stewards will direct you to the appropriate parking area. VIP Arena ticket-holders will have access to a separate parking area even closer to the event.

There's a camping option in a picturesque setting, right next door to the music arena with Weekend Camping tickets offering you the chance to stay and party and not worry about how to get home at night!

New for 2023 are our VIP Camping and Glamping options. Scroll down this page to the camping section for full details.

If you've never seen a great line up of legendary bands and artists like this - now's your chance! It's all here for you and join us for a unique live music event.

Each attendee can bring a small bottle of water or soft drink up to 500ml, if it remains sealed as bought.  Free drinking water will be available at points throughout the festival, so you can bring an empty reusable plastic or aluminium bottle to the event for water refills. Alcohol cannot be brought into the event.

Any person with specific dietary requirements can inform us in advance and where suitable options aren’t available on site, we will give dispensation to bring suitable food to the event.  Personal picnics are also permitted into the event, upon arrival, but no metal/glass utensils or cool boxes, for safety and security reasons. Further take away food cannot be brought in during the event.  We will have a wide choice of caterers who will be very reasonably priced.

Please note, to allow time for security bag searches, we are operating a 'no big bags policy', so no large rucksacks or bags, are permitted. Only small rucksacks/bags with length/width dimensions approximately no larger than a piece of A4 paper, can be brought into the music arena.

Certainly!  Sign of the Times is a family friendly event and children of all ages are welcome! Tickets are available for age groups 14-17 and 5-13. Under 5's are free and do not need a ticket. Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible ticket-holding Adult aged 21+ Children 5 and under are free and do not require a ticket.

Sign of the Times Festival's 2023 VIP option will have further revamps and improvements, to ensure the 2023 VIP will be the very best VIP experience possible.

It is very important to us, as the organisers, that we ensure that the event is accessible to everyone. This includes the availability of accessible parking, toilets, including disabled toilets, and designing the site so that it utilises level, flat routes, to make the event as accessible as possible for wheelchair users

There will also be a dedicated viewing area for wheelchair users to view the event, though it does have a capacity and will be first come first served to wheelchair users and their companions. 

The free Disabled Facilities Access Permit is for those who require accessible facilities or additional support to accommodate disabilities, only, and can be accessed by booking the free Disabled Facilities Access Permit in addition to all normal purchased camping tickets (per person) and Motorhome/Caravan permit, if required. If NOT camping it can still be ordered if use of the secure disabled facilities in the music arena are required. Kindly note the Disabled Permit is NOT an entry ticket and is additional to the camping or non-camping tickets per person.

For 2023 the disabled toilets will remain separate in a secure compound with steward monitoring, to ensure that only our disabled guests with the disabled facilities access permit have access to them.

Any person with additional needs who requires a free accompanying ticket for a carer or assistant, can email Sign of the Times Festival via our Contact page or at info@signofthetimesfestival.co.uk where we will make provision for this directly.

If you have any other specific requirements, let us know via our Contact page and where at all possible, we'll endeavour to help.

There is a large car park which will be manned by our stewards and there is NO CHARGE for this car parking at the Festival.  If you have a VIP ticket, you will have access to a further car park right at the door of the event, included in the price of your VIP ticket.

We're fans as much as you are and know the importance of the basics at these events.  For this reason, we're making sure that not only do we have lots of toilets available at the event, but we will also have a team of cleaners to ensure that the toilets remain clean and stocked throughout the day.

We will be further increasing the toilet numbers in both the music arena and campsite in 2023.

Folding chairs, blankets, etc, can be brought into the event. There will be a huge open-air viewing area with great views of the stage and screens from all parts of the site. If using a folding chair we would respectfully ask that they are not located near the front of the stage for safety reasons as this is the area where people stand.

There is no ATM facility on the festival site but all the bars will accept credit and debit cards, including contactless.

Dogs, kept on leads at all time, are allowed into the festival and camp sites. There will be dog waste disposal points located in the music and camp sites. For their welfare, however, we would request that they are not exposed to long periods of loud music near the stage.
