All ticket sales are final and non refundable.
Due to licensing laws everyone aged 18 and over will be subject to an ID check when they present their tickets. This is to ensure that the name on the ticket and the person presenting it match. Only original, physical ID documents can be used, not photocopies or photos on your phone. Acceptable forms of photographic ID include :-
If you do not have ID or your ID does not match the name of the ticket you will be refused entry.
Bag searches will be carried out when you enter the festival and if you leave and re-enter the festival arena. Drugs dogs are also present at entry points during the festival.

Where to Stay - Camping, glamping, and campervan/caravan pitches are available to purchase via our ticketing system (separate areas for tents and vehicles).
Glamping/campervan pitches must be bought in addition to Weekender Camping tickets.
No sleeping in cars.
If you prefer a B&B or hotel there are several in the vicinity including :

No dogs are allowed on site apart from papered service dogs.
Please let us know in advance if you'll be bringing a papered service dog and ensure you bring your paper evidence with you.
No, sorry - it's the standard 'shower in a can' type festival.
Unfortunately no.
Open fires, fire pits and BBQs of any kind are NOT permitted due to our license regulations, only portable stoves are allowed with small gas cannisters.
There is no glass within the festival arena and we would prefer if you didnt bring in any glass at all but if necessary you can keep it within the camping areas.
Yes! Campervans, motorhomes and caravans are welcome, but a Campervan/Caravan Pitch must be purchased alongside your Weekend Camping Ticket to access the site. Roof tents and trailer tents must also use the campervan area and therefore require a Campervan/Caravan Pitch.
One small tent (maximum 2-person) or awning may be pitched alongside your vehicle, provided it fits within your allocated pitch. Larger tents are not permitted in the campervan area for fire safety reasons.
Pitches can accommodate vehicles up to 9m long x 5m wide, including any awning, small tent or accompanying vehicle. If you require additional space, please purchase an extra pitch.
Please note:
You can bring food discreetly into the festival but we also ask that you do try to support our food vendors on site.
You cannot bring alcohol into our main arena (the whole inside area where the festival runs). There will be bag searches at each entry point to check for this and it will be confiscated if it is found.
You are however allowed to bring some alcohol (within reason) into the camping areas if you are staying overnight and are permitted to enter with the relevant ticket and wristband.
Only sealed bottles and cans will be allowed in via the entry points
Water is available on-site and at the bars and tea tents and we encourage the use of refillable water bottles.
Yes. Our taxi drop-off and pick-up area is from our car park, which is outside the main entrance to the actual festival so ALL taxis will be asked to meet you there in a designated pick-up/drop-off area. We will not be allowing taxis to pick up from Main Street.
Entry to the car park is free and you will then carry on our one-way system to Chilthorne Hill Lane and out onto Tintinhull Road.
There is also a bus service to and from Yeovil for run by South West Coaches - Call the South West Coaches office to book & pay. [01935 475872]
Yes. Please be aware though that the majority of the festival is grass so if it's wet, it may be more tricky for a wheelchair depending on its capabilities. We allow papered GUIDE/ALERT DOGS but please contact us in advance to let us know if you're bringing one. We have disabled toilets on site.
CAMPING: We also have a limited amount of designated camping area for those with disabilities available on a first come first served basis. Please contact us if you'd like to book it (it's still a basic grass area, but you can park your vehicle next to it). All camping in this area must be booked in advance of the festival opening.
PARKING: We have a disabled parking area, but spaces are on a first come, first served basis. Please show the stewards parking cars your blue badge and they will direct you accordingly.
CARERS: Carers can attend the festival FREE if accompanying a person with a disability who has a ticket. However, these are on a ratio of one per paying ticket, or one per family. Any carer or companions will be given free access to the same areas as the ticket purchased by the disabled party.
To apply for a Carers ticket please email us at tickets@homefarmfest.co.uk with proof of the purchased ticket (screenshot or order number) and proof of the person who is being cared for. Acceptable proof is:

If this is your first festival, welcome - it's great for us it's at HFF! If you're unsure about what it may be like, do a bit of research, watch our videos of pst years to get an idea, make sure you look at the map so you know roughly where things are (inlcuding things like the toilets and medical/security locations). Whilst HFF is a small festival, it can still be disorientating if you're in a big crowd. For more general info about preparing for a festival, take a read of Festival Safe's website HERE
We cannot be held responsible for anyone at the festival, therefore ALL children under the age of 18 MUST be accompanied by a responsible parent/guardian over the age of 21 years who is on-site for the duration of their time at the festival. Anyone under 18 trying to enter the festival without an adult will be denied entry and asked to leave. If this happens, we accept no responsibility and the underage entrant is solely responsible for getting themselves collected and off-site. One over 21 year old can only be responsible for up to THREE under 18s.
Taking photos and producing an annual festival film is integral to running Home Farm Fest and we use them for marketing and promotion throughout the year. We therefore have several official photographers and a film crew on-site throughout the festival weekend who are all marked with Media lanyards and hi vis jackets (and their camers too of course!). The image and footage become our property to use as we see fit. Please let us know if you see any images you don't want used by emailing us
