No food or drink can be taken into the main festival arena. However, we do allow sealed bottles of water up to 750ml, and empty unsealed bottles can be brought in to be refilled at the water points. No glass is allowed anywhere on site, including in campervans or caravans. Please decant into plastic containers before you leave home.

The legal age to bring alcohol into the festival is 18+. There is an ID check on entry and any alcohol will be taken off you if you are found to be underage.

A list of all our food vendors will be added as we approach the festival, including information on dietary provision. For customers with specific dietary requirements that we don’t cater for, we do allow a reasonable amount of food to be brought into the festival arena for personal consumption. This must be confirmed with us in advance of the festival by writing to info@thelongroad.com.

If you are coming on a single day ticket or a weekend no camping ticket you cannot bring any food or drink into the festival other than a refillable water bottle.

There are plenty of bar and food options available within the festival arena.
