Hijacked Festival takes place in a licensed venue- as such ticket holders are not permitted to bring alcohol into the event. Your bag will be searched upon entry, and you may be frisked. All searches are carried out by SIA accredited personnel of the same gender as the attendee being searched.
No cash machines will be available; our bars accept cash or card but, as with all festivals, you should be prepared to use either. You can expect a pint of lager to cost you around £7 and hot food to cost between £6 and £10.
You will need to bring your e-ticket or paper ticket with you to the festival. You will then exchange this ticket for a wristband at the gate. Do not remove this wristband, if you do so you may be ejected.
Coach ticket holders will receive a SEPARATE coach ticket wristband at the door of the coach.
If you feel unwell, or injure yourself in anyway, please notify the nearest steward or security person immediately. They will direct you to the first aid tent. Alternatively, if you feel anxious, overwhelmed, scared, or upset during the festival for any reason whatsoever, our friendly and professional welfare team can offer support in the welfare tent. Please see a steward for directions.
No animals are permitted onto the site, including car parks. The only exception is assistance dogs for customers with a disability. Such assistance dogs must be registered with a national organisation.
No. Once you’ve entered the arena, you must stay inside until you are ready to go home. There is plenty to see and do inside, with a wide range of entertainment, food, drink, and chill-out areas.
