Arrival

Arrival is from 2pm on Friday 29th August. You’ll be greeted by a steward in a hi-viz jacket. Follow their instructions to park and / or set up camp.

Camping

You can bring your own tent or campervan or stay in single sex dorms. There are plentiful toilets and hot showers on site.

Children at Singfest

Children (under 18s) are free at Singfest but you do need to register that they are coming. If they are to join the singing workshops book them an Under 18 (free) ticket. If you would like them to attend kidsfest (for free) again book a kidsfest ticket. All these can be found on our tickets page.

Kidsfest

Kidsfest is fun! You will be with our qualified and DBS checked kidsfest tutors. There’ll be singing and playing music, arts and crafts, plus great things like go-karting and climbing. Although your parents or carers are responsible for you at all times, you get to spend loads of time with other children at Kidsfest whilst the adults go off to do their singing.

The singing workshops

Singfest is organised so that you sing with all of our tutors. Some workshops will be taught in smaller groups by a single tutor (Lee Morris and Ryan O’Riordan) and some will be with all Singfest participants led by Oaken. In these larger workshops each singing part has dedicated support from a member of Oaken.

Don’t forget to invite friends and family to the final, informal performance at 3pm on the Sunday.
