A FEW RULES TO REMEMBER FOR WATSTOCK 2010
- NO GLASS WILL BE PERMITTED ON THE FESTIVAL FIELD
- ALL ALCOHOL MUST BE PURCHASED AND CONSUMED ON THE WATSTOCK FIELD.
- YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED ENTRY WITH YOUR OWN ALCOHOL.
- UNDER 12’S ARE FREE BUT ONLY WHEN ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT
The idea behind Watstock was to raise money for our own village charities, clubs and community projects. All profits from Watstock go back into our community, and last year, thanks to the 3000 people that attended Watstock, we were able to donate £2,500.00 to Watlington Pre-School towards their relocation project.
Unfortunately although previous festivals have been free, mounting costs have meant that this year we will have to make a small charge of £3 per person, but with added attractions for the children, craft and trade stalls to browse, plenty of food stands, toilet facilities on site and a fully licensed Beer Tent; you won’t need to leave the Watstock Arena at all. Watstock merchandise together with band merchandise and festival programmes will all be available on the Festival field also.
What easier way to support your own community than to simply sit and enjoy all that Watstock has to offer.
Watstock would not be possible without the continued support of Watlington residents and sponsors, Watlington Parish Council and the Local Police and Authorities who all offer advice and support throughout the year.
We want to continue Watstock for years to come so please help us by behaving responsibly.

TOILETS – Are located at each end of the festival field, there will be 2 blocks of 10 cubicles and an additional men’s urinal. They will be used by large numbers of people during the weekend, and though they will be checked and cleaned, please help others by leaving them as you found them.
FIRST AID – First Aiders will be present throughout the weekend. In the event of need for first aid, make your way to a signposted First Aid Point or contact a watstock steward (in an orange hi-vis jacket) or a member of the Event Guard security team, who will give you first aid assistance.
LOST CHILDREN – Please keep your children with you. Lost children should be reported to the Event Guard Security team or a Watstock Steward. Any child found wandering will be taken to the Village Hall for collection.
LOST PROPERTY – If you should lose or find any articles during the event, contact an event organiser or watstock steward . Property not returned during the weekend will be handed in at the Police Station the following week.
LITTER – It takes a lot of time to clear the site of all the litter left. Please take your litter home with you or put in the bins located around the site.
FIRES AND BARBEQUES – Other than the organised festival BBQ’s any other fires or barbeques are not permitted on the field.
PARKING – There are parking spaces available on the Recreation Ground and also in the Village Hall car park. No parking is permitted in the Angel Pub Car Park or on surrounding highways.
DEHYDRATION & DRINK – If the weather is hot, make sure you don’t become dehydrated. Drink plenty of water or soft drinks. Remember, alcohol has a dehydrating affect. Alcohol is only permitted if purchased and consumed on the festival field, please don’t abuse the privilege. Also, IF YOU DRINK ALCOHOL, DON’T DRIVE HOME. There will be large police presence each evening. The train runs through the village to Downham Market & Kings Lynn. Or take a taxi or walk home instead. Taxi numbers and train timetables are all available in the festival programme.
DRUGS, HARD OR SOFT – Are no more legal at the Festival than they are anywhere else, the same penalties and risks apply.
