The safety of all Truckers is of highest priority to us, and this means we must have certain rules in place to protect the safety of our younger festival-goers. Please see our age restrictions and ID requirements below:

16 & Over

Anyone 16 or over is welcome to attend the festival on their own without an adult, however, you will be asked to show proof of age on entry to access the event.

We accept the following forms of ID:

• Your current passport – photocopies are accepted to gain entry but NOT to purchase alcohol at the bars.
• Your UK Driver’s Licence or Provisional Licence
• Citizen Card

Please note we cannot accept other forms of ID.  Photocopies will only be accepted to gain entry but the real document will have to be shown to purchase alcohol.

Under 16

Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult (21+) at all times.

Challenge 25 Policy

A challenge 25 policy will be in place for all alcohol sales on site.

If you look under 25, you will need a valid photo ID to be served alcohol.

Your Truck checklist:

• Ticket  –We ask that you print your e-ticket off and have it ready to be scanned to reduce queue lengths.
• Cash/Card – All Bars and Official Merchandise vendors will be completely cashless and will only accept card or contactless payments.
• Photo ID – For more info check out our ID page. Photocopies will be accepted for entry but not for serving alcoholic drinks at bars.
• Phone – For finding friends and taking snaps
• Sunglasses – Don’t get that glare.
• Tent & Sleeping Bag- Your home for the weekend
• Wellies/Waterproof Anorak – Hopefully won’t need it but hey, it’s England!
• Baby Wipes – For a quick freshen up! Please try to purchase compostable wipes.
• Water/water bottle – Be sure to stay hydrated at all times! There are water taps across the festival site.
• Torch – Guy ropes can be monsters in the dark!
• Loo Roll – Better safe than sorry!
• Toiletries  – Towel, soap, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrush
• Sun Cream – We don’t want any lobsters! (show me your clawsss)
• Medication – Inhalers etc.
• Spare (warm) clothes – The nights can get nippy!
• Fancy Dress – Keep an eye on our Facebook page to vote for your favourite theme!
• Human repair kit – Plasters, headache tablets etc.

Prohibited Items

• Do not bring non-biodegradable body glitter. Biodegradable glitter can be bought from traders onsite.
• No Portable laser equipment or pens are permitted.
• No Animals (except registered guide dogs).
• No Sound systems or drums.
• No Generators.
• No Sky Lanterns or Kites, unauthorised Fireworks, or Wax Flares.
• No Re-Entry with Alcohol
• No Illegal Drugs including all Psychoactive Substances
• No Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas). As a contraband good, under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 this substance is banned. It is very dangerous to inhale nitrous oxide directly from the canister and if you take too much nitrous oxide you risk falling unconscious and/or suffocating from the lack of oxygen.
• No Knives or Weapons
• No Glass
• No Dogs
• No Flares, Fireworks or Smokebombs
• No Selfie-Sticks
• No Disposable BBQ’s – Visitors are permitted to bring small portable camping stoves. Disposable BBQs or Aerosol-Style Gas canisters over 250g will be confiscated.
• No Aerosols over 250g
• No Katie Hopkins
• No Gazebos. They take up valuable tent space in the campsites. We’d also rather you didn’t put tape around your tent enclosures, please. It makes it harder for other people to get to their tents.
• No Unauthorised tape recorders, professional film or video equipment are allowed onsite. Cameras for personal use are welcome.
• Flying or filming with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, or so-called drones) is not allowed on site before, during or after the Festival – and is prohibited by law. We have a working site and the safety of our audience, crew and staff is paramount.
• All persons under the age of 16 will not be allowed entry into the festival without a responsible adult (21+). Maximum 4 U16’s per responsible adult. 
• We will be implementing Challenge 25 at the entry gates, so have your IDs ready

We operate a Prevent, Pursue, Protect policy. This means, Prevent illegal drugs from getting onto the site, Pursue anyone suspected of supplying illegal drugs, Protect the festival-goers.

Truck has a zero-tolerance drug policy. Any illegal drugs will be confiscated and the police may decide to prosecute. New psychoactive substances, Poppers, and Nitrous Oxide are also strictly prohibited and may result in ejection from the event. Searches are a condition of entry to the festival.

We really want all our festival-goers to stay safe at this year’s festival. Please don’t take any risks. You can find out all the latest information on legal highs at www.whynotfindout.org
