Can we take our own chairs?

People tend to stand to watch the acts on the main stage. We therefore don't allow people to bring chairs into the site as it would be a safety issue.

Can we bring a wind break or sun tent into the arena?

No – In case of an emergency we would need to evacuate the arena as quickly and as safely as possible. Clambering over tents, wind breaks etc would hinder a fast exit and therefore put lives at risk.
