There is no customer camping at Crystal Palace Park events. If you are looking to stay overnight after the event, we advise you to look for a hotel near Crystal Palace Park. Local transport will be in operation after the event ends if you need to get around London.

Polygon Live is a green-field site that is relatively flat and has some natural pathways and hard standing areas to and from the site (i.e. within the park itself). The Polygon domes will be positioned beneath Valhalla tents that will be large enough to shelter the entire audience, as well as some stalls and marquees.

That said, this is an open-air event and you will not be under cover when you move between areas. Ground conditions are therefore weather dependent. If they experience extreme weather the ground may become muddy and the grass may get churned up. While their festival team will do what they can to prevent this, it does mean that mobility across the site may become compromised. Please consider this when buying a ticket.

Please also note that they do not have parking on site, and so blue badge holders are advised to review Crystal Palace Park and Bromley Council information pages for the nearest suitable parking areas.

The organisers run a complimentary personal assistant ticketing scheme for customers who wouldn’t be able to attend the festival without the aid of another person. You need to be in receipt of a PIP/DLA or equivalent to qualify. Please send your details to events@polygon-productions.com to apply for a personal assistant pass.
