Word of Mouth Over 30s Festival

cutout

The dress code for the event is summer/smart/glam festival chic.

Please note that this is weather dependent and may be updated closer to the event.

we operate a strict zero tolerance policy on sportswear. This means:

  • no gym or air max style trainers

  • no sports-branded hoodies or caps

Smart pumps or trainers and tailored summer shorts are permitted.

Please ensure you adhere to the dress code, as failure to do so may result in refusal of entry to the festival.

We’ll be operating our ‘no phones’ on dance floor rule on this festival. Whilst social media is a huge part of our life right now we are putting the emphasis on ‘living in the moment’ to euphoric atmosphere.

Of course it’s fine to take pics and record but please just do this from the periphery of the main dance area.

We’ll provide a 3m x 3m gazebo, 6ft trestle table and 6 Trentham deckchairs all located within the premium seating area with an elevated view across the lake. The cost is £80* per gazebo for this event, in addition to event tickets. Gazebo’s must be purchased at the time of ticket purchase as we do not have the function to add these on at a later date.

If you are looking to hire a gazebo, you must purchase at the same time as your concert tickets as they sell out very quickly and we cannot add the gazebo onto your booking at a later date. Gazebos are only available via Ticketmaster and cannot be bought onsite.   

Personal tents, windbreaks and visitors own gazebos are not permitted at these events.  

*additional Ticketmaster charges apply
