At CockRock we like to encourage camping to add to your festival experience after all there's nothing better than the experience of sleeping beneath a blanket of stars. However we want all of our festival goers to have a fantastic festival please make sure you read the following carefully to ensure everyone has a fab festival experience. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail us at mail@cockermouthrockfestival.com or have a look at our FAQ page.

*All under 16's must be accompanied by a responsible ticket holding adult aged 21 or over for the duration of the festival. I.D will be checked and no exceptions or refunds will be made.

*One adult (21 or over) may accompany a maximum of four people aged 15 and under.

 
*Those who are 18+ will be permitted to bring alcohol onto the campsite, under 18's are not be permitted to bring or consume ay alcohol and it will be confiscated. Again I.D checks will be made and if you are believed to be under 18 and can't prove otherwise then you will not be allowed entry with alcohol.

* The maximum total units of alcohol allowed to be brought in per adult (18 or over) is 50 units for the weekend.

On site we operate a challenge 25 policy and you will therefore need I.D, anyone who looks under 18 and cannot prove otherwise will not be allowed entry to the campsite with alcohol.

There will be no re-entry with alcohol at any point. Although we have some fantastic reasonably priced bars on site for those of you that fancy a cold pint or two!

We aim to make arriving at CockRock as easy as possible, after all it is the start of your holiday! On arrival you will have a choice of car parks and campsites, simply ask our friendly stewards for directions and they will be happy to help.

Unfortunately due to Health & Safety cars will no longer be allowed to park next to tents, there will now be separate car park's for both Day ticket holders and Weekend ticket holders.

This is a decision we haven't taken lightly however as we are responsible for everyone's safety at the festival we feel that separating cars and tents will ensure that we create a safe and happy environment for our festival goers to enable them to enjoy their experience at CockRock.

There will also be a separate drop off area to make sure the arrival process runs smoothly.

However we would like to point out the car parks are only a matter of minutes away from the campsite, there is no long walk and the campsite is easily accessible for all. We are also looking into options to help make carrying your camping equipment as easy as possible, after all we want you all to have a fab, stress free CockRock holiday! :)

Please note you will need to visit the Box Office on site to obtain your wristband before entering the campsites.

Over the years we have seen a vast increase in the amount of campervans/caravans attending the festival. To ensure that we allocate adequate space for those who wish to camp in this way we have introduced a 'Live in Vehicle pass' for CockRock 2013 priced at just £25 per vehicle . If you do wish to bring a campervan/caravan we do advise that you purchase a ticket in advance to ensure that a pitch is available for you as there is a limited number available. Exact pitches will be allocated on arrival.

This covers specifically adapted vehicles i.e campervan/caravan/trailer tents. We do not permit people to sleep in their cars in this section.
Please note the Live in vehicle section is seperate from the main campsite

At CockRock we have two main campsites, they are Quiet & Family Camping and General camping. The Quiet & Family Camping is situated in a different field to General camping and will therefore provided a more relaxed area.

On site there will be disabled toilets and a separate parking area. Guide dogs are permitted on all areas of the site. We will endeavour to accommodate any needs you may have, to ensure these are met please e-mail us at mail@cockermouthrockfestival.com and we will do our best to help.

We are delighted that due to site infrastructure changes we are able to include Day Tickets again. A day ticket will be sold which will enable you access to the main arena on either Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Adult (18+) and Young Adult (13-17) day tickets will be sold but will be priced the same due to the already discounted price.

However Day ticket & Weekend ticket holders will have no access to the campsite and will not be allowed to bring any alcohol onto site.

On the campsite we have basic facilities, these include:
Running water , Toilets (including disabled toilets) and lighting.

Fires will not be permitted anywhere on the site with the exception of BBQ's (please make sure they are contained safely)

Please see General Information page

Please note the following items are strictly prohibited from being brought onto site:

We have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy on ALL illegal substances, if you are found to have brought these on to the site you will be removed from the festival immediately and reported to the police. We are a family festival there will be no second chances.

The laws of the land are as relevant within the festival field as anywhere else.

If you have any problems during the festival or would like to report anything the security office on site is open 24 hours a day, security officers are also placed at key points throughout the festival.

Stewards and security will monitor the campsite when possible, however you should always ensure you leave no valuables in your tent, please look after them either lock them away in your vehicle or take them with you.
