🎉 PARTY IN THE PADDOCK – IMPORTANT INFO 🎉
Friday and Saturday night are strictly 18+ events. If you look under 25, please be prepared to show valid photo ID on entry. (Passport or driving licence only – no photos on phones.)
🍻 We operate a Challenge 25 policy throughout the event. If you are fortunate enough to look under 25, you may be asked to provide valid photo ID when purchasing alcohol. If requested by bar staff, ID must be produced to be served.
🎟️ Tickets are selling fast! Pre-purchased tickets guarantee your entry. There may be a limited number of tickets available at the gate, but once they’re gone, they’re gone, and there is no reentry with pay on the gate entry.
⏰ Turn up early, avoid disappointment, and make the most of the weekend.
🚕 Please note that Poole Road outside the Paddock from the Coach and Horses pub up to the Quarterjack roundabout will be closed from 11:00pm until 1:00am. Bear this in mind when booking taxis. We strongly recommend booking your taxis early and arranging a suitable pick-up location outside the closure area.
🛡️ Our security teams are there for everyone’s safety and to help ensure a great event for all. There will be bag searches on entry along with random personal pat downs. Please do not bring alcohol or food into the venue, as these items are not permitted. Any alcohol found in bags or on a person may result in refusal of entry to the event.
☀️ The forecast is looking great, it’s shaping up to be an amazing weekend, and we’re expecting big crowds.
Don’t be that one friend who leaves it until the last minute, turns up at the gate, and asks to be let in because all their mates are already inside. If you want to be part of the party, get your ticket sorted now!
