Ticket info for 2025 is available here
Yes!!!!! Tickets for BH25 are on sale NOW and are available here
Yes, but we call them a Youth Ticket (age 13-17), Child Ticket (2-12) and an Infant Ticket (under 2).
Anyone under the age of 18 will only be allowed entry to the festival with a 'Responsible Adult' (who has to be over the age of 25 and who can accompany up to a MAXIMUM of two under 18s). The Adult must arrive and enter the festival with the Youth(s), Child(s) or Infant(s)
To ensure compliance with our Child Protection Policy, there are some terms and conditions associated with buying Youth Tickets. Points 2 to 9 of the terms and conditions can be viewed here.
This fee covers the payment fees, order processing and ticket printing.
The full name of each ticket-holder is required when booking so that the wristband is linked directly to each individual, ensuring that if a wristband becomes lost, or broken during the event, getting a replacement is an easy process.
In recent years we have also seen an increase in attempts to enter the festival with stolen, resold and forged wristbands. This is something we take seriously and this process will make these attempts far more difficult.
All data collected during the buying process is securely handled and will only ever be used by Kaboodle and/or Beat-Herder.

Alcohol can ONLY BE BROUGHT IN ON YOUR 1st ENTRY WHEN YOU GET YOUR WRISTBAND. Once you have your wristband you cannot bring more into the festival.
Live in Vehicle pass holders - this is the limit to be taken into that area.
For 2024 you can bring in either up to 18 cans OR 1 box of wine (up to 3L) OR 1 bottle (not glass - maybe plastic or metal) of spirits (up to 1L).
You can drink it wherever you like on site. Oh and if you run out, our bars sell the cheapest and best booze on the festival calendar.
Glass is NOT ALLOWED on site and will be confiscated, so please look for drinks in alternative packaging or decant your drinks before you leave home.
The fancy dress theme for The Beat-Herder Festival 2025 is yet to be revealed....
Live-in vehicle passes sell out each year and so you need to make sure you have purchased one before you arrive.
Car park passes and Live-in vehicle passes can be purchased here or contact beatherder@kaboodle.co.uk directly with your full name, booking reference and your query asap.
Due to a recent spate of devastating carbon monoxide poisonings in tents around the UK, we have now a complete ban on gas bottles being used inside any tents. This applies for both heating or cooking.
Please ensure all cooking is done in a well ventilated porch or gazebo or, better still, completely outside your tent.
A much safer solution to the problem of keeping warm at night would be a decent thick duvet or sleeping bag and a roll mat. These options are often cheaper than buying a gas heater and are definitely safer and permitted at the festival.
No! Beat-Herder is held on a working farm and this is at the specific request of the landowner.
Anyone bringing a dog or other pet (guide dogs or other assistance dogs excepted) to the site will be refused admission and asked to leave.
If you do need to bring a guide/assistance dog to the festival please email accessibility@beatherder.co.uk in plenty of time before the weekend.
No, this is a music festival!
Having said that, we have a large, well equipped and properly staffed children's area within the festival, as well as plenty to entertain children of all ages across the whole site.
Many people bring children along and have a great time, but please remember that you need to be over 25 if you are bringing anyone under 18 with you (up to a max. of 2 U18s).
Please also remember that adults making the most of a music festival can sometimes be a bit intimidating to the young and uninitiated, especially later in the evening.
Paddling pools are not allowed and will be taken from you if they find one.
Please leave them at home and drink plenty of water.
No BBQs or disposable BBQs are allowed on site. Please don't bring one or light fires anywhere at all.

Try BB7 4LH. It's the other side of the road but the nearest you will get.
Between Clitheroe and Sawley in Lovely Lancashire
There is a regular bus service that passes the festival gates, the 280 (operated by Stagecoach). This runs along the A59 from Preston in the West to Skipton out East. More info and timetables here.
Travel by bus to Beat-Herder and pay a maximum adult single fare of £2 from Skipton, Clitheroe or Preston. Luggage is conveyed free of charge at all times.
Yes. It doesn't cost much when bought in advance for the weekend.
Car park passes can be purchased on arrival but cost more on arrival and will delay entry.
Live-in vehicle passes sell out each year and so you need to make sure you have purchased one before you arrive. If you don't have the right live in vehicle pass you will be turned away.
Bring a car full of folk and it'll only be a few quid each, plus you can share the fuel costs, save the environment, and wear a rightfully smug grin as you arrive.
If you need to add car park passes to your booking email beatherder@kaboodle.co.uk directly with your full name, booking reference and your query.
Some people do get the train to either Skipton or Clitheroe and jump in a taxi from there. There is a drop-off/Pick-up area just inside the festival (don't get out on the main road!!).

Not specifically.
We try to encourage those who prefer things a bit quieter to head towards the furthest fields. These areas generally have a bit more room too as they require a bit more effort to get there. (it's not miles away though - maybe a few hundred meters further).
Yes we do!
We have teamed up with our close friends Mr (Tommy) Thompson and Mr Fred Yurt. Offering the use of their bell tents and yurts as boutique accommodation at the festival - sited in their own exclusive compound, accessed only by those with special wristbands. The area will have hot showers and flushing toilets. Prices vary - depending on size and requirements.
New for 2025, we are offering a range of pre pitched tents, sleeping from one to eight people. All pre-pitched campers access the facilities (toilets, showers) within the General Camping area. Tangerine Fields doesn't include access to the Glamping field and facilities

Yep, although you'll need a specific pass, depending on what you're bringing.
We have passes for campervans up to 6 meters long, passes for those over 6 meters long and passes for cars towing caravans. You can get the pass that you need when you buy your tickets.
You are not permitted to sleep in any vehicle other than a vehicle deemed by the promoter to be a live-in vehicle and then only in the live-in vehicle areas.
Up in Campervan Land, we've been struggling for space and it's getting more difficult to get everything to fit. The problem is not the amount of vehicles, we can forward plan for that, we know how many we can fit and therefore how many to sell. The issue is what's getting put at the side of your live-in vehicles - the awnings and what not. We have therefore added an 'Extra Width Pass' to add on to the 'Live-In Vehicle Pass' which will be required by anyone wanting more space to the side of their van. Without this pass we will park you with enough space to open your doors, but not for much else.
An ‘Extra Width Pass’ is required for awnings or other small tents. This is limited to one pass per vehicle and allows an extra 2.5m of space to the side of the vehicle. This awning or tent must be brought in to the live-in area within vehicle. Without this pass we will park you with enough space to open your doors, but not for much else.
No.
We have separate car park and camping fields. You'll have to carry your stuff from one to the other. Don't worry though, these are not far apart.
You are not permitted to sleep in any vehicle other than a vehicle deemed by the promoter to be a live-in vehicle and then only in the live-in vehicle areas.
No!
You are not allowed to make your own fires in the camp-site (or anywhere else at the festival), but we do have a great big fire pit within a stone circle in the main arena.
There will be cash machines on site this year so there is no need to bring lots of cash to the festival. There will be a small charge for this service.
Yep. There are some primo hot showers, which are cleaned between uses (there's a small charge for these).
Why of course.
Saturday is fancy dress day (but you can dress fancy all weekend if you're feelin' it)!
The fancy dress theme for 2025 will be revealed soon.
Thursday's entertainment will finish around midnight.
The main stage performances finish at around midnight on Friday and Saturday, with the other areas/venues winding down between 3 and 4 in the morning.
On Sunday night all areas wind down for midnight.

Yes, you can.
There is a dedicated kiosk within the festival that you can buy these things from. The location of the tobacco hut is on the map in the programme (or just ask the nice security people to point you in the right direction).
