Yes, this is absolutely fine! You can leave at anytime but this must be by Car or Shuttle Bus (within shuttle bus operating hours). Walking is strictly forbidden due to the highway that runs outside of the event site. You will be given a wristband that will be used for re-entry, you cannot bring any alcohol in upon re-entry and you will be subject to a search again. The gates will re-open at 10am on Saturday 14th June.

Please pack accordingly, bring all necessary provision (within reason and bearing in mind the entry conditions and restricted items).
Only bring what you can afford to lose and what you can carry from the gates to your campsite. Work out what you're sleeping in and what you will need to keep warm and dry and only bring what you think you will need for the weekend. And please, please, please only bring things that you are going to take home with you.

Understandably, no glass is allowed on site and will be confiscated at point of entry. Unopened plastic bottles are allowed, but if the seal is broken these will also be confiscated at the gates as we cannot allow unidentifiable substances onto the festival site. No re-entry with alcohol also applies.
Day ticket holders cannot bring any alcohol in, and will need to make use of the on-site bars instead.
