How do I get into the festival on the day?

The festival will take place in the royal suite of the spa hotel and spill out into the back gardens and spa temple area. Please enter the site via the main entrance, head to the royal suite and this will be the only access point for ticket holders to enter the festival. 

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

All ages welcome but the activities are designed for families to enjoy together. Music is played at safe levels for everyone.

Please be aware that It Takes A Village Festival is designed to provide a family friendly, authentic dance music/festival experience and is not a traditional children’s party or disco. Music is proper club music from acid house onwards, there is no kid's music, nor DJ shout-outs. The effect is to give families unity on the dancefloor – dancing together.

How loud will it be?

It Takes A Village sets and monitors the volume using World Health Organisation guidelines. That it is at a safe level for everyone, even the youngest of babies, over the four hour duration of the event.

Though quieter than at adult events, it is still loud enough to feel like you are at a club. Most parents do not use ear defenders on their children but if yours are particularly sensitive to noise or if you want them to nap then you might want to consider it.
