Please Note: Love Saves The Day is on a green-field site (Eastville Park), with some tarmac paths on the peripheral entrances and exits. While there are some sheltered areas (some stalls and marquees), it is mainly an open-air event. Ground conditions are therefore weather dependant (if we experience extreme weather the ground may become muddy), therefore mobility across the site may become compromised. We ask you to consider this before purchasing a ticket.

GENERAL INFO

CAMPING

Although we are two day festival, we don’t provide any option to camp within the site. The festival will close when the music finishes at 11pm. We advise looking at hotel, Airbnb or hostel options in the centre of Bristol and taking the small commute on our Love Bus (see above) to the festival site each day.

CAPACITIES
All tented structures have a set capacity that cannot be exceeded by law. If there’s a particular act you are desperate to see then make sure you get down with time to spare. If an arena is full then we suggest finding an alternative stage to enjoy.

CLOAKROOM
This is located in the Information Tent, next to the main gate and it will be open throughout the festival. The cloakroom cost is £3 per item.

 

EMERGENCY SERVICES

There is a 12-hour medical centre just inside the main gate that is manned by fully qualified staff. Please make yourself aware with it’s as you enter the festival. The welfare tent is located just inside the main gate. If you need to grab a quiet five minutes or just want someone to talk to, the welfare tent provides a safe and non-judgemental space to do this.

Full emergency services at the festival include:

  • Police • Ambulance • Fire Services

If you need any assistance DO NOT call 999 as we have everything needed on site. This could unnecessarily tie up services from a nearby town. There are an ample number of Stewards and Security on site who can be alerted to call upon for any emergency services or assistance necessary.

If you suspect somebody is unwell take him or her to the first aid tent. If in severe cases they are not moving, please do not attempt to move them and alert a Steward immediately who will call for the exact help needed. If you take any medication regularly remember to bring it with you and make your friends aware of any illness or allergies you may have. Look after yourself and those around you.

SPECIAL EFFECTS
Please be aware that strobe lighting and other special effects may be used as part of performances at Love Saves the Day.

TICKETS
A separate ticket is required for each day. If you have purchased a weekend ticket, please ensure that you bring your ticket on both days.

Please only buy tickets from the authorised agents listed on our ticket page. Beware of touts and unauthorised ticket agents selling tickets as there is no guarantee of their authenticity. You will be refused entry if you attempt to use a counterfeit ticket. Please note that tickets are non-transferable.

VALUABLES & SAFETY
We recommend taking some easy steps to maximise your enjoyment of the day.

Keep money, mobile phones and cameras on your person at all times. If you suspect you have had something stolen, please check with the Information Tent to see if it has been handed in before reporting it to the police.

Exercise common sense when it comes to bringing along valuables- if you don’t need it, don’t bring it!

Make yourself aware of the location of the emergency exits, and follow any instructions given to you by security or stewards. In the unlikely event that you witness dangerous or antisocial behaviour move away and alert security if they are not already in the immediate vicinity

LOST PROPERTY
If you lose or find something at the festival, please go to the Information Tent. All lost property from the festival will be kept in the Love Saves The Day office for a month after the event. Please contact enquiries@lovesavestheday.org to enquire about your item.

 

RESPECT EASTVILLE PARK - Collate residents, rubbish and waste, toilets

RESIDENTS

We are committed to causing minimum disruption to the residents who live close to Eastville Park. Please respect local residents by keeping noise to a minimum when arriving and leaving the festival. Please also use the bins and toilets provided.

RUBBISH & WASTE
Please use the bins provided to dispose of all your rubbish. Not only do we want to keep the site looking lovely, but also want to avoid harming any of the resident wildlife at Eastville Park. Plenty of bins are provided around the site and these are emptied throughout the day.

TOILETS
Please make sure that you do use the loos provided and not the ground of the park or surrounding area as this can be harmful to local wildlife. There are ample toilet facilities on site and just outside that are cleaned and restocked throughout the day. We all know that festival loos can be a bit of an ordeal so please do your bit by leaving them as you’d like to find them!
