ESSENTIAL INFORMATION FOR RELENTLESS WAKESTOCK 09


The countdown has begun to Relentless Wakestock 2009 and with only 48 hours to go before the gates open for the 10th birthday celebrations we thought we’d make sure you were in the know about the weekend’s events!

We know that you’ll be trying to work out what bands you want to see, which wakeboarders you want to catch, what to wear and whether or not to bring your festival hat. We thought we’d put together an essential guide which will give you loads of really important info, tips and answers to any questions you might have to ensure that you make the most of your weekend in this stunning part of the world.

DIRECTIONS
Don’t get lost on your way! Plan your journey in advance. If you are unsure of directions click here for more information. As you come into Pwllheli you can make use of the yellow AA direction signs to the festival site and the marina for the wakeboarding.

TRAVEL VIA NATION EXPRESS
National Express is operating a bus service from Manchester to the festival site. There are a limited number of spaces still available. click here for more information.

CAR SHARE
Please car share where possible and try to avoid busy commuter travel time. The event will be sign posted so follow the event road signs.

PARKING
If you are planning to travel to the event by car and haven’t purchased a car parking ticket in advance, a limited number of car parking spaces will be available on entry to the car park for £10. Please note that if you have purchased a car parking ticket you will need to pay again if your vehicle leaves and re-enters the car park.

FESTIVAL COURTESY BUSES
There will be courtesy buses running throughout the weekend to and from the surrounding villages so there is no need to drive off the site. The timetable is available to download from the Relentless Wakestock website or by CLICKING HERE.

CAMPSITE
The campsite is just a short walk from the car parks. It opens at 1pm on Thursday. We don’t advise you get to the campsite too far in advance of the opening time, although you can queue in a grassy area with toilet facilities. Don’t forget your ticket to exchange for your wristband on entry.

WEATHER
We will all be doing a little sun dance for the weekend but be sure to pack clothing for all weather from sunscreen to waterproofs. Wellies are very cool in the sun & are very handy in the rain!

CASH ON SITE
There is a cash machine on site close to the box office. Get yourselves a lanyard with a site map to check the location. There are also banks & cash machines in Abersoch & Pwllheli. Keep your cash safe & don’t leave any in your tent.

FOOD & DRINK
There is a large selection of quality food stalls on site. You can bring your own food and drink (as long as it is not in glass containers) into the campsite but no BBQ’s or camping stoves on site. Alcohol in plastic bottles or cans is allowed into the campsite but not the music arena. There are a number of bars around the site serving both alcoholic and soft drinks during licensed hours to over 18’s only. Please bring proof of ID to show that you are over 18. Do not buy alcohol for anyone under the age of 18 – if you do so you risk being ejected from the festival.

FUNFAIR
There are funfairs on site, a small one in the campsite and the main one located in the music arena. You’ve got to go on at least one ride, it’s a great rush!

LITTER
We ask you to respect the festival area as well as the surrounding countryside – please use the litter bins provided.

VALUABLES
Please do not bring any valuable items onto site. Keep your money, bankcards and mobile phones on you rather than leaving them in your tent – don’t bring an expensive camera, why not use a disposable one instead?

CLOAKVROOM
We recommend that you do not leave any valuable items in your tent – you can pre book a Cloakvroom ticket or check availability on arrival. The set-up is manned 24hrs a day and you will exchange your booking confirmation for a secure wristband which enables you to access your valuables over the weekend, and means you don't have to worry about losing a cloakroom ticket on site. The ticket costs £11 in advance or £5 per day if purchased at the festival.

SPECIAL NEEDS
We welcome people with special needs and every year we try to ensure we provide the appropriate facilities. Please call the festival ticketline on 01758 710000 before the event and we can send you an information pack before the event with all of the information you require.

You should also get your hands on the event magazine for the full low-down and 2009 festival lanyard with all the timings, to ensure that you don’t miss a thing.
