Local, national and international media coverage of the festival is important for us. We appreciate your contribution and we commit to help those who wish to cover the festival in a professional way.
Accredited members of the press receive a “Press” or "Photo" Pass that gives access to the Vivendi VIP Area to meet and speak with artists, organisers and partners of the festival.
To make the work easier for our photographers and videographers, and for the comfort of our front row audience, we limit the number of accreditation giving access to the stage pit.
Your Press Pass, if confirmed, will be available in the VIP-Artist ticket chalet on arrival.

​rules FOR TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS

For the viewing comfort of our audience, when in the stage pit ...
  • Be discreet and avoid standing in the same place for too long;
  • Dark or black tee shirts are preferred;
  • Avoid large hats such as cowboy hats.
Only one photographer and one videographer are allowed on the stage at any one time.
For evening shows on the Main Stage, press accredited journalists are limited to the 1st three songs of each show in the stage pit. They may not access the stage at any time.
To receive accreditation, please fill in the form below using the button links. You will receive an answer from the festival in due course.
By sending in the form you agree to the rules for taking photographs above. Failure to comply may result in removal from the festival site.
The festival market village is located inside the festival site. With over 10,000 people coming into the site over 4 days, there are lots of potential customers looking for quality, crafted products.
Please note that we run the food and beverage as our primary source of income, so we do not accept food and drink concessions apart from some sealed food products sold for consumption offsite. 
There are 3 categories of vendors that make up the festival market.
1) Professional luthiers and musical accessory distributors located in the luthiers expo hall
2) The village market located inside the main festival site.
3) The 2nd hand book and music album market located under the old market in the town centre.
For more information about the market, availability and prices please use the link below to contact the market coordinator.
