Who do I contact regarding a ticket enquiry?

What do I do if I haven’t received my E-Ticket?

  • The E-Tickets will sent a week before the event. If you haven’t received yours, please login to your Kaboodle account https://account.kaboodle.co.uk/login where you can download them.

Accessibility Information

We strive to make our events welcoming to everyone and aim to make the event as accessible as possible for all guests. We offer accessible facilities and parking for those who need it. The following information provides details about the accessible provisions at Mucky Weekender. If you have any questions that are not answered below, please contact us.

Site Information

Mucky Weekender is held in 30 acres of parkland with no hardstanding areas. The ground is reasonably flat and even. Whilst there are some sheltered areas (marquees, stretch tents and performance spaces), it is mainly an open-air event. Ground conditions are therefore weather dependent (if we experience extreme weather the ground may become muddy), therefore mobility across the site may become compromised.

We will be offering the following for disabled customers:

  • Dedicated accessible toilet and shower facilities within the campsite.
  • Dedicated accessible toilet facilities within the event arena with combination locks so only guests that require them can use them. There is also a mobile number displayed inside each accessible toilet so should the facility require servicing, our team can be notified and it can be rectified immediately.
  • Accessible parking (you will need to have your blue badge on display).
  • Medical teams to assist you with any issues that may arise over the weekend.

Accessible Camping and Live-in vehicle spaces

The accessible campsite is located very close to the wrist banding entry and the live-in vehicle spaces are also at the closest point to the entry gate. All pitches are accessible and dedicated facilities are located in the campsite. On your arrival, please speak to a steward or a member of the festival team and they’ll give you the combination code for the dedicated facilities.

Personal Assistants

Customers requiring assistance throughout the festival are entitled to apply for one free pass for their Personal Assistant. Personal Assistant tickets are for those with physical/mental difficulties that would prevent them from attending on their own.

Each Personal Assistant ticket is provided on the expectation that your Personal Assistant is willing and able to assist you throughout your visit and would be available and able to help you in the event of an emergency.

Once you have purchased your ticket for the festival, please email info@mucky-weekender.co.uk to request your free personal assistance ticket. Within the email, please provide your booking reference and proof of disability. This can be a receipt of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or an access card showing a +1. We will then allocate your PA ticket to your booking FOC.

Can I use my card on site and will there be cash points?

  • Yes you will be able to use both cash and cards at the festival and we supply ATM outlets for the weekend

I would like to trade, steward or volunteer at Mucky Weekender!
