Who's sleeping over tonight then?

Are the car parks open all night does anyone know? So if you turn up at 3 in the morning, can you park then?

The gates are locked at 11 and no cars are allowed in unless they have a disabled badge and then its only at 4.30ish ..... We set up outside the gates and parked in the estate over the road......it saves parking in the North car park and legging it up mercer way only to find you may have gone from number 1 to 30 :-) gates are opened at the same time ... Good luck and wrap up

If you get there after 04.30 the main gates will be open, go through them and head for gate W. You sign in there and they give you a number.
