The festival is sure to be a great day out for everyone.
Here are some of the things you can expect at MantonFest:
- Live music from a variety of local and national bands

The festival is also a great way to support local charities. So why not come along and join the fun?

Here are some of the ways you can get involved with MantonFest:
- Buy a ticket to the festival
- Volunteer at the festival
- Donate to the festival
- Spread the word about the festival
MantonFest is a great event that is enjoyed by all, but none of it would be possible without our main benefactors Fred and Emma Goltz, without their meadows, equipment and enthusiastic support MantonFest would struggle to exist. As always we would like to thank Fred, Emma, the MantonFest committee, our helpers, backers and of course our families without whom none of this would be possible.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
WRIST BANDS/SECURITY
A wrist band will be issued to everyone on entry so please make sure it is visible and worn the whole time. This enables you to leave and enter at will but always show your ticket with your wrist band intact on re-entry. Please do not be offended if you are approached by a member of our security team and asked to show your ticket and wrist band during the festival. If neither can be produced or the wrist band has signs of being tampered with you will be asked to leave and not return.
Anyone caught trying to get into the festival without paying will be asked to leave immediately.
PARKING
Parking is in a nearby field in Preshute Lane (what3words address ///flap.branched.prices). Volunteer stewards will be on site to direct you.
Blue Badge holders ONLY may use the church car park adjacent to the MantonFest field.
ALL CHILDREN 15 AND UNDER
No youth or child may enter or exit the festival without being accompanied by an adult.
PICNICS
are welcome, BBQ’S are not. Also, please ensure cigarettes are put out especially if the grass is very dry.
NO GLASSWARE FOR DRINKING IS ALLOWED, PLEASE USE PLASTIC RECEPTACLES
It would be appreciated if beer drinkers would use cans instead of bottles as they are easier to dispose of.
RUBBISH
There will be a number of waste bins in the water meadow for your use. However, we will be issuing black sacks for you to ease the work of our volunteers so would appreciate you using them as well. We will collect them at the end of the day so you do not need to put them by the bins, just leave them where you were sitting. All rubbish is sorted and recycled where necessary by Hills Group Products.
TOILET FACILITIES
We try and ensure the toilets are up to standard. However, please find a steward (wearing an orange tabard) or go to the Ticket Desk if not. There is a disabled toilet, and men and women’s toilets in one section of the field. Please do not use the single toilets reserved for the bands.
DOGS
Dogs are welcome during the day but not in the evening as it can be very distressing for them with the loud music and laser lights. Please make sure you pick up after your dog and do not leave your pet in your car if it very hot – even with a window open. A filled water bowl will be available at the gate at all times.
FIRST AID
If, for any unfortunate reason you need First Aid, please visit Dan Claridge and his medical team in the ambulance on site for their help. They are very friendly and approachable.
LOST AND FOUND
Please go to the Ticket Desk at the entrance – lost property or children!
UNDER-AGE DRINKERS
Any youngster caught drinking alcohol will be asked to leave the festival and not return whether accompanied by an adult or not.
THAT’S IT FOLKS
We want our festival goers to enjoy their day with us so we do not wish to be too harsh but most of the requests are common sense. Enjoy MantonFest 2023!
