Tribfest is the perfect first time festival. It doesn't get overcrowded, out toilet and shower facilities are kept clean all weekend, and there's something on the lineup for everyone.

We cater for audiences of all ages, from pushchair to wheelchair, Tribfest is great for all the family.

Don't panic! When you order your tickets you will get an email confirmation and then all tickets will be sent out on 1st July. However, if you still need more information please email info@edentertainments.co.uk and give us as much information as you can. Don't leave it until last minute.

Please note our ticketing partner is CM Ticketing so your email will be from them.

Unfortunately, the phone signal isn't great at Sledmere House. We've found that the best network for coverage at Tribfest is Vodafone.

The best way to avoid getting lost from your friends is to make plans to meet up at a certain point at the festival at certain times. There's plenty of recognisable points around the festival site that can be used to meet at so make sure all your group know where and when!

We do have WiFi available in the Main Arena available to purchase for a fee.

Yes, we do! All our stewards will be wearing fluorescent tops and will have been briefed on our facilities for people with disabilities; please ask them for any help or advice you may need over the weekend.

Toilets are within each area - the main arena and disabled campsite. All disabled toilets will be made as accessible as possible and as near to the main amenities within the site.

There will be a designated disabled camping area which will be as near to all main entrances as possible. On arrival please ask stewards for directions.

We try to make the festival as accessible as possible to those with special needs, but please note it is still some way (across grass) to the main arena, as dictated by the site. There are disabled toilet facilities in the arena and campsite. If you have particular needs, get in touch with us in advance. We'll do our best to help.

Anybody wishing to camp over the weekend must provide, prior to the festival, evidence of disability.

Our aim is to make your time at Tribfest a memorable one, don't be afraid to ask any of our staff on the day for help. If you feel we need to add more information regarding disabled issues please get in touch at info@edentertainments.co.uk or telephone Ed on 07802533414

Sorry, tickets are non-refundable and non-returnable.

No tickets will be allowed to be sold on social media sites or any commercial selling sites, such as eBay. This is due to the fact that each allocated eTicket has the name and address of the purchaser.

Yes, food and drink can be brought into the camping areas but no food and drink can be taken into the main arena. The food and drink on offer from the festival's traders inside the main arena is diverse and of the highest quality. There will be something on offer for everyone, and you haven't fully experienced the festival without trying some of the cuisine on offer.  Each person will be searched when entering the main arena, anyone attempting to take food or alcohol/drink into the main arena will have it confiscated. Anyone breaking these rules could lose their wristband and be removed from the festival.

PLEASE NOTE: No glass bottles are allowed to be brought from outside the festival into the festival, security teams will be searching bags on entry to the campsites and any glass bottles will be confiscated. However, in the main arena Wine, Prosecco and Champagne will be served in a glass bottle. ALL GLASS MUST BE RETURNED and there will be a refundable charge of £4 which will be refunded on return of the glass. 

There are a number of covered areas - the bars and music marquees and the Big Top.

We hope you won't want to, and we try to ensure you won't need to. But if you do leave the site, you will need to see the stewards on the exit gate to ensure you will be able to get back in. All wristbands must be shown at all times.

Tribfest isn't a 'picnic show', and people tend to stand to watch the acts on the mainstage. We therefore don't allow people to bring furniture (other than small collapsible furniture) into the main arena - as it would be a saftey problem, and you wouldn't be able to see much anyway! Of course the various bars and catering areas have some seating available, and you're welcome to bring rugs or shooting-sticks, so you needn't be on your feet all day.

As Tribfest is a family orientated festival, we have a zero tolerance stance on drugs and legal highs. We take the safety of festival goers as our top priority and will do all we can to make sure that everyone has a fun, but safe weekend!

Anyone caught selling drugs will be removed from the site and passed on to the Police. Anyone found using drugs will also be removed from the site and passed to the police.

Legal highs will not be on sale at the festival. Any trader found selling them will have their stock confiscated or face eviction from the festival site.

You will not be able to bring alcohol into the main arena, security will carry out searches when you are entering.

Anyone wishing to leave the main arena with a drink will now be permitted to do so.
