Astonbury is nearly here, we want to ensure you have all the necessary information to make the most of your experience.

Be Weather Ready:

As the event will be held outdoors, it's important to come prepared for the weather. We recommend bringing reusable water bottles to stay hydrated (you can refill your water bottles in the SU), sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun, picnic blankets & rugs to relax on, and sunglasses to look cool.

Signing in and Wristband Policy:

Upon arrival, all guests will be required to show their QR code and present a valid ID. This process helps us ensure the security and safety of all attendees. After signing in, you will receive a wristband of a specific colour. The wristband serves as proof of entry and must be worn throughout the event. Please note that re-entry is allowed for the duration of the event, provided you have your wristband intact. Additionally, if you have received a discount code, please make sure you use that to buy the ticket as the code itself doesn’t give you entry to the event. 

Toilets and Other Facilities:

We have ample toilet facilities throughout the site. Please use these facilities responsibly and help us maintain cleanliness for you and others. Additionally, other important facilities, such as food & drink vendors, first aid stations, and information booths are available.

Ticket Prices and Informing Friends:

Ticket prices for the event will be £18 for students, alumni and £25 for staff on the day of the event. If you have friends who are planning to attend, we recommend they buy the tickets before the event. This will help them prepare accordingly and avoid any last-minute surprises. Tickets can be bought here - BUY HERE

Lounge Opening Times and Drinks Policy:

The Lounge, in the SU building, will be open during the event. If you fancy grabbing a drink indoors, this is the place to come.  We kindly ask you to adhere to the drinks policy at the event as drinks bought in The Lounge cannot be taken outside into the festival area. There will be a bar near the amphitheatre where you can purchase drinks for outdoors.

Cashless Event (payment by card/device only):

We are excited to announce that the event will be completely cashless. Be sure to bring your debit card and and/or make sure your devices are fully charged, we don’t want you to miss out.

If you have bought your ticket after 2nd June , you can catch up on our earlier pre-event communications here - https://www.astonsu.com/news/

Should you have any further questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out to us through Instagram.

Ultimately the event will be as good as those who come to it, so simply be kind to each other, sing like no one’s listening, dance like no one’s watching and we reckon you’ll have a great time.

See you on Friday :)
