Note: Latitude Festival will contain acts unsuitable for children. Where it is possible to classify a scripted performance or film by age, this will be noted on signage outside the tent. The Cabaret Arena will contain nudity. The Comedy Arena will contain swearing. Other stages may feature material not suitable for children that we are unable to predict and classify due to the nature of live performance.
Day Ticket Entry
– There is a separate entrance for day ticket holders. The day entrance and car park can be located from the site maps at www.latitudefestival.co.uk . Day ticket holders should be aware that some of the main arenas are tented and have limited capacities. Ticket holders should allow ample time to enter and find the arena where their favourite acts are playing to arrive early enough to ensure the tents are not already full.

Please see information on Disabled Access here.
Disabled customers will be provided with one free ticket for their helper, where required. Should additional helper tickets be required, please email

Toilets & Showers
There are toilet blocks throughout the campsites and arena. At most toilet blocks, there will be a toilet service attendant based there permanently. If you notice any toilets that need servicing, please tell the attendant or the nearest CAT (Campsite Assistant Team) or HAT (Helpful Arena Team). All toilet paper supplied is made from recycled toilet paper. Any additives used in the toilets are biological and are not harmful to the environment.
Disabled toilets are available throughout the site at key locations.
The shower tent is situated in the Village and will be open from 6am to 1pm and from 7pm to 12.30am each day.
Seating
Latitude is an open air non-seated event - some seating is available in the Obelisk Arena and there are picnic benches in the arena and deckchairs by the lake.
Wristbands
The wristbanding tents are located just inside each campsite gate, so you need to swap your ticket for a wristband before you enter the campsite and pitch your tent. Please note that some queuing at these wristband exchanges at peak times is inevitable. We will be doing our best to wristband everyone as quickly as we can and will have more staff on duty at peak times than in previous years.
Family Camping is accessible via Green Gate on the A145 then Memorial Gate.
The wristband exchange for day ticket holders is situated by the day ticket entrance.
Re-admittance to the site is only possible once you have been wristbanded. Entrance to the arena is only possible with a valid wristband.
Wristbands removed from the wrist or tampered with will be rendered invalid and will not be replaced.
We advise all day ticket purchasers to arrive early to avoid missing any of their chosen acts and to leave ample time to get from the entrances to the stages.
Running Order Changes
Any changes to the running order are passed on to the Information Tent and should also be posted on the large information boards situated throughout the site. HATs (Helpful Arena Team) will also be able to update you.
Weather Policy
There is no refund or exchange available. The event will go ahead regardless of rain etc. Please dress for the prevailing weather conditions. Bring sunscreen.
