r/creamfields

Hello everyone. Creamfields is next week, and I (27F) am both excited and nervous. This is my first camping festival. I have a four day bronze camping ticket, with a green coach ticket from S.Wales.

I didn't want to do this festival sober, but I'm on new medication that strongly advises against drinking with it. I have mental issues that can make it hard to talk to people. I've almost cancelled this trip a few times, but I really want to see SHM.

I know it's a big ask, but if anyone has the time, could you give me as much information as possible at what happens at Creamfields?

1. When you arrive on Thursday what do I do? I assume I just get in a queue, show my ticket, then get told where to pitch the tent and then just pitch it?

2. Do I have to bring my own food and toilet paper for 4 days?

3. Are people friendly? I've had bad experiences with festivals and concerts before.

4. What do I do if I feel ill, e.g, dizzy? Is there a medical tent, and if so, what can they do there?

5. How big of a bag should I take? Like one of those big haversacks with a floor mat tied to it?

6. I have never bought 'private pharmaceuticals' but would like to try. How easy is it to get, and what should a first timer avoid?

7. What footwear should I bring?

8. What's the filming situation? Does the festival film things and / or is filming allowed by fest goers? If yes, how do I avoid being on camera.

9. How much money should I bring ash and card wise?

If you've read this far, thank you.

Any answers, advice, or comments are greatly appreciated xxx

There are three of us travelling together in one car. Two of us have Gold tickets, while one friend has a Silver ticket. As we are travelling together, we would like to know whether all three of us can use the Gold car park and Gold entrance together, or whether our friend with the Silver ticket would be required to use the Silver car park and Silver entrance.

Unfortunately, we can’t travel separately, as the different entrances/car parks are in different locations. We have also already paid for the Gold entrance/car park for our tickets.

Would it be possible for the three of us to arrive together and have our friend with the Silver ticket enter through the entrance from the gold car park?
Sorry if I have misunderstood the entrances too.

Can I camp in standard with silver camping

I’ve got a shuttle bus ticket for 10:00 on the Saturday, but only intending on using the return aspect of the ticket.

Am I able to take the return bus without getting the outbound bus to Creamfields if I have the ticket?

Me and my buddy’s who are going unfortunately couldn’t get a camping ticket so we went for the next best thing which was getting a 3 day non camping ticket, what we wanna know is how strict are the dogs really for bringing shit in cause the last thing we want is going over from Ireland just to get caught with shit going in 🤣

I am going Creamfields on the Saturday but am doing it sober and driving there and back home, I saw that the parking passes have sold out. I was wondering does anyone know any unofficial parking places close to the venue where you can pay and park that aren’t actually inside the festival site.

1930-2100 slot in Apex is now available.

I’ll be keeping an eye on this, hopefully we get someone to replace him.

Hi all!

I've got non-camping tickets for Saturday + Sunday and was planning to attend it with a friend. My friend can't make it now so I've got no company. This is my first time and I was really looking forward to it.I would appreciate if there's any group I can buddy up with.

I am really excited to go to this one and don't want to miss it. I'm just a bit anxious to go there solo.

Hi I’m looking to see if this is even possible or whether I’d have to wait until the Monday morning to leave the site?

I’m planning on leaving Newcastle very early so I can get a good spot in the car park close to the exit/entrance so I don’t have to queue that long when I leave Sunday night? Furthermore, What is the car park like in general on Sunday night?

Obviously not planing on drinking that night, and the only reason I’m planning on driving to and from the festival is because I have a shift to work that day at 2pm Monday. And I don’t want to risk leaving Monday morning due to general hassle getting out of the festival and getting stuck in traffic on the way home.

Any info/recommendations pls thanks

Last year at the bingo, I won a 4x day silver camping ticket for 2026 Creamfields, however me and my friends always go silver. Someone I went to school with was asking if anyone had a standard ticket and I do (the one I won for free) so I was wondering if I would be able to transfer it into his name as the email with my ticket states they can’t be sold or advertised as there is a whole process at entry where you go to a separate queue for guest list. I have emailed the address in which it states to if there is any enquiries, but this post is more to see if anyone has successfully transferred their free ticket? It is a shame as I would 100% of used it myself if it was silver as me and all my friends do this every year)

Hi guys I wanna know if anyone who has tinnitus is going for this festival and what measures to take to remain safe

So who do we think the surprise act at apex will be. There’s no way the headline slot at apex isn’t going to have anyone playing. My guess would be underworld

qué tal estrictos son con los medicamentos ? rollo llevar un blíster de ibuprofeno o paracetamol ? en el ultra Europa no te dejan entrar ni paracetamol, sin igual de pesados en creamfield?

Anyone know if there’s a safe way to actually sneak into the festival without a ticket? we saw a lot of people doing it at parklife and wondered what it would be like
