You can show your ticket on your phone instead of printing if you wish, so long as the barcode is clear for scanning on entry.

Drugs Policy

Kilimanjaro Live has a zero tolerance policy on the use of, or the dealing in, illegal drugs on site, including legal highs. Drug enforcement laws are applicable on this site and SIA security is on site to deal with drug offences in accordance with national guidelines. If you deal in drugs, you will be arrested. Neither anti-social nor illegal behaviour shall be tolerated, and participants shall leave themselves liable for evictions from the site and possible prosecution.

Experimenting with drugs can lead to adverse reaction. If you do take drugs and you become ill, depressed or frightened, please ask a steward to direct you to our on-site welfare centre which can help and support you.

Accessibility

Kilimanjaro Live welcomes disabled festival goers and takes all reasonable measures to assist with their attendance and enjoyment of the event. At the same time, the festival takes place in the open countryside and guests with accessibility needs should be aware that the main arena, car park and surrounding areas are, naturally, fairly uneven and may be difficult to navigate. Stewards will be available, subject to peak movements, to assist disabled guests in getting into the main arena.

Accessible toilets are provided on site.

There is no covered viewing platform at this event, but there is a wheelchair platform reserved for wheelchair users. However, if disabled guests find that there are specific problems resulting from their disability, please contact one of the stewards who will be happy to do everything possible to help you.

Please note disabled tickets need to be arranged ahead of time and not on the day of the event.

 

How do I apply for a personal assistant ticket? 

In our efforts to make this event accessible to everyone, we offer disabled ticket holders, subject to availability, a personal assistant at no extra charge.

The wheelchair platform is located in front of the main stage.
