Full info
In line with industry-wide Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) the festival is split into three phases – the set-up (the ‘Build’), the Event itself and the take-down (the ‘Break’).
The Build starts on August 4th and runs until the festival opens to the public, and the Break starts after the Event itself and finishes on August 31st (although the bulk will be out by August 25th). The Build and Break periods are deemed ‘Construction Periods’ and the areas within the Estate which are hired by Beautiful Days are deemed ‘Construction Zones’ and cannot be entered by anyone who has not complied with their Health & Safety regime, which includes an induction prior to entry. The hired areas (‘Construction Zones’) are marked on the accompanying map and will be signed on site with safety signage similar to a Construction/Building Site. There will also be additional security staff on site throughout the period helping to manage access.
A Public Footpath Closure across the Park will apply for the duration between August 5th and August 27th inclusive to suspend access within the hired areas for walkers and their dogs. This is for everyone’s safety.
To help mitigate delays due to ‘queue jumping’ the A30 Off-Slip at Patteson’s Cross will be closed for a short period during the peak arrival time on Thursday August 14th. This is likely to be from around 09:30 until 14:00. As soon as the slip road can be reopened it will be. A diversion will be posted sending traffic up to Turks Head interchange at Honiton and then rejoin the A30 to exit at Iron Bridge junction. Local residents will be aware of other routes available.
Thank you.
