- In strong wind and/or rain please ensure the doors are zipped shut. Leaving doors open in strong winds can cause damage to the tent and in the rain will allow water into the tent.

- All waste is to be removed upon departure and every tent will have a waste bin with bin liner included. Failure to remove your waste will result in damages charges. Please see the event FAQs for more details on waste removal.
- Each tent will have an inventory of items, please ensure all items listed on the inventory are left in the tent on your departure and in a reasonable condition.
- Do not remove items from the tent and transfer to other tents.

Can I bring a Gazebo?
Due to the proximity of other bell tents, please don’t bring any other shelter/Gazebo, as it would become a fire hazard.
What do I do when I leave?
