Tickets

Please note that entry to Buckfest is via a purchased wristband only. We’re a licenced event, and numbers are strictly limited. Every person needs a wristband to gain entry (including babies in buggies, etc.); it doesn’t matter who you know or what age you are: no wristband, no entry — no exceptions.

Festival Booze Policy

Sorry, but we don’t allow you to bring any alcohol into the arena; only alcohol purchased on-site is permitted. The reasons for this policy are:

Licensing

We are required under our licence to control the consumption of alcohol, and we have responsibilities to ensure people don’t get out of control or unwell and to prevent underage drinking. We can’t do that if people are using their own supply.

Charity Support

We try hard to raise a lot of money for charities and needy organisations through our festival, and this is largely funded by the proceeds from the sale of beer, cider and wine. If people drink their own supply, we are not able to support our charities and this event in the future.
