Important Information for Festival-Goers

To ensure everyone has a seamless and enjoyable experience, here are some key details you need to know:

• Location: Hardwick Festival takes place in the grounds of Hardwick Hall Hotel, Sedgefield, County Durham. The festival site is easily accessible and offers flat terrain, making it easy to get around.

• Cashless Transactions: The festival operates on a mostly cashless basis. While most vendors accept major debit and credit cards, as well as contactless payments, it’s advisable to carry some cash as a backup, especially since there are no ATMs or cashback facilities on site.

• Getting There: Ample parking is available for those driving, with passes available for purchase upon arrival. There is also a convenient drop-off zone in the Hardwick Park car park for taxis and drop-offs. For those traveling from further afield, a range of pre-booked coach routes from across the North East are also going to drop-off in Hardwick Park car park.

• Age Restrictions: The festival welcomes all ages, but anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian over 25. Additionally, after 6 PM, the Courtyard Stage is restricted to those 18 and over.

• Alcohol and Bag Policy: Only alcohol purchased on-site can be consumed within the festival grounds, and bags will be searched upon entry. Campers are permitted to bring alcohol into the campsite, but not into the festival arena.

• Essentials: Small bags are allowed, and it’s a good idea to bring a 500ml sealed bottle of water or an empty refillable bottle. Remember, items like bottles, cans, food, umbrellas, and chairs, aerosol cans and perfume bottles are not permitted within the festival site.
