The Campsite Village is the central hub for campers and the gateway to the arena itself, it has everything you need to make your camping experience more enjoyable and relaxing. At its heart is a large chillout zone with shaded areas and hammocks, you will also find an array of culinary delights on offer at the food concessions and you can quench your thirst at the village bar….surrounded by seating allowing you to perch and refuel.

Short on camping gear? Head over to our Camp Shop where you can buy everything from an airbed, wellies or a spare tent peg. Pop into the General Store to stock up on your fruit and veg or grab yourself some sunnies or merch in one of the other ‘village shops’ . And lets not forget the ever popular onsite Co-op store selling everything from toilet roll, tobacco, toiletries, meal deals and more to get you through the weekend!

How about a spot of entertainment? There are various fairground rides in addition to the main arena, including a few exclusives for campers. If you fancy getting hitched at Creamfields don’t miss out on a visit to the ‘Inflatable Church’ where you can ‘tie the knot’ (not legally!) book in early though each day as it’s a busy ‘church’!

The Pamper Street Collective return with their highly skilled pamper artists to keep you looking pristine across the August Bank Holiday weekend. We have everything from Barbers, hair stylists, henna artists, face painters and body glitter artists and masseuses all on hand to keep you feeling and looking fresh!

And for all those with standard camping wanting access to showers, proper toilets & pamper tent – the campsite village is also where you will find Club Class

The Campsite Village is also where you will find out ‘Help Tents’ open 24 hours a day, these ‘hubs’ are open to everyone and will be supporting our existing medical, welfare and other assistance provisions on site. Our trained staff will be on hand to help with anything you need whether that be losing your friends, feeling unwell, personal safety, needing a bit of space to chill out or just needing a plaster, suncream or where the nearest water point is, whatever it is our friendly teams are on hand to assist, and if they cant answer your question…they know someone who will!

Cheshire police urge you not to risk bringing any illegal or unknown substances to the event. If you are found to be in possession of controlled drugs, new psychoactive substances or weapons, you are liable to prosecution. The possession of any amount of a controlled drug is a criminal offence and the supply of a controlled drug is an even more serious offence. Carrying controlled substances for others, such as a group of friends, is still considered as possession with intent to supply and will lead to prosecution and a likely prison sentence. We have countless examples of this happening, and it ruins people’s lives. No illegal drug-taking can be assumed to be safe, and there is no safe way to take them.

Think before entering the festival – Don’t bring any prohibited or illegal items with you or use the surrender (amnesty) bins provided to dispose of any controlled drugs, new psychoactive substances or weapons.

We are always thinking of ways to reduce the amount of crime at events but we need you to do your bit too:

Put money, tickets, credit cards and mobile phones in a zipped pocket or use a money belt.
Only bring what you need, excess things that you don’t need are just more things you could lose.
Avoid bringing or withdrawing large amounts of cash and keep it safe at all times. There are cash machines on the site should you need a top up.
Postcode the property that you do bring to the event so it is identifiable.
If you arrive by car, ensure that you leave the doors and windows secure and remove any items from view including sat navs, stereos, CD’s and mobile phones
Use the lockers located in the Campsite Village for personal items you wish to store safely.
Only bring the essential bank cards. Make a note of the numbers and store at home to make cancellation easier if they do disappear.
Track your items, more phones and tablets have GPS tracking and can be located via an app such as “Find My iPhone”.

PROJECT SERVATOR

Project Servator aims to deter, detect and disrupt a range of criminal activity, including terrorism.

Cheshire Police officers are experienced and specially trained to spot the tell-tale signs that someone is planning or preparing to commit this type of crime. There is nothing to suggest that Creamfields will be the target of this type of incident, but you can help us to make sure of it.

Please report anything that doesn’t feel right, for example, an unattended item or someone acting suspiciously, by telling a police officer, informing site security, or calling 999 if it’s an emergency

BE SAFE BE SOUND

We are working with Counter Terrorism Policing to encourage live music fans to #BeSafeBeSound.

Counter Terrorism Policing is collaborating with the UK’s biggest music venues, arenas and festivals to deliver vital safety advice to the public.

We all have a role to play in keeping each other safe. Your safety is our priority and that’s why we have a comprehensive array of measures in place.
You can play your part by trusting your instincts, and if you see something that doesn’t feel right, tell security. Our teams will take every report seriously. You won’t be wasting their time.

Here are some quick tips to help you have a safe and enjoyable time:

Arrive early, allowing more time for security checks and measures.
Be patient with security checks. It might seem inconvenient, but they are in place to help you.
Keep it simple and minimise what you carry. The more you bring, the longer it will take to get in.
Stay alert and look out for each other. If you see something that doesn’t feel right, tell security. Don’t leave it to someone else.
Don’t leave bags unattended. Never agree to look after a stranger’s bag, no matter how genuine they seem.

Have an amazing time, and if you see something that doesn’t feel right, report it to security straight away. Thank you for playing your part. #BeSafeBeSound.

Our primary ‘MEDICAL CENTRE’ located near the entrance to the campsite village next to and near to the Steel Yard is open 24 hours a day across the event weekend with a wide range of fully trained medical staff including Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics, First Responders and Mental Health practitioners.   Our team are able to deal with the full range of emergency and urgent care medical problems and offers the same range of services as a conventional Emergency Department, including an on-site X-Ray service. In addition to the primary MEDICAL and WELFARE points, we have various medical response teams positioned across the festival site as well as foot patrols across the campsite and event arena.

If you need Medical or First Aid assistance, and if you can, head to the MEDICAL CENTRE on site or approach a member of our First Aid or Medical teams who will be able assist.  If it’s an emergency reach out to the closest member of staff who will be able to contact our Event Control and get assistance to you; only dial 999 as a last resort as this may not be the best way of getting help to you on the festival site.
We don’t recommend that you try to make your own way off site to hospital, access to medical treatment is available on site, you may delay receiving treatment by trying to access health services elsewhere, if the medical site team do feel you need transfer to Hospital services they will make the appropriate arrangements.

Where is Welfare?

Located directly next to the Medical Centre is the ‘WELFARE TENT’ which is open 24 hours a day across the event weekend.   The Welfare Crew offers non-judgemental support to those vulnerable either through substance use, mental health, are a victim of an assault or sexual assault or those that are finding the festival environment too overwhelming in that moment.  A festival atmosphere and large crowds can be a trigger for some people, and our Welfare Tent is a safe space facilitated by trained and experienced staff where people can be cared for until they feel able to head back into the festival if they wish.

Their staff come from a range of professional backgrounds including drug and alcohol services, mental health, social care, youth, and medical services, with all staff trained in safeguarding and supporting victims of assault and recognising mental health and how to give immediate support.

The welfare team can also support you with arranging how to get home in an emergency, by making phone calls to family and friends to pick you up and then support you to the gates.

Do you have Back of House drug testing facilities?

We continue to work with HazmatLINK who have been providing their back of house testing services at Creamfields for many years.  Their knowledge and expertise in identifying substances of concern allows us to alert festival goers based on results from our on-site lab.
