THE BASICS
When and where is the festival?
DeadMeet27 will take place on 9th July – 10th July at Cheshire Showground, Clay House Farm, Knutsford, WA16 0HJ
This is a 2-day event, so you can buy a ticket for both days, or just a day ticket for each day.
Camping tickets are available, and new this year we have a glamping upgrade available if you want a bit of extra comfort, or are just too lazy to bring your own tent
What are the opening times of the main festival site?
The site will be open from 12pm – late (end time TBC, but we’ll have stuff on till the early hours) on both 9th and 10th July.
Can I leave the event site and then come back?
Yes you can leave and come back as long as you have your valid wristband and are back in before 19:30. If you leave you cannot bring alcohol back into the festival.
Is there any accommodation on site?
Yes! You will be able to camp at DeadMeet27. We’ll have a campsite available if you buy a weekend ticket with camping. And new this year are glamping upgrades! Book a pre-erected tipi for 2, 4 or 6 people, with beds and home comforts included!
You are not permitted to contact a third party supplier to pitch a tipi for you. Only tipis from our website will be allowed on site.
Nobody without a camping ticket will be allowed on the campsite.
Alternatively you can stay in any of the surrounding areas, there are loads of hotels including a couple of Travel Lodges and Premier Inns a short taxi ride away in Knutsford and Northwich.
Give it a google. We’re not going to do everything for you.
How old do you need to be?
The event is 18+ obviously. We operate a challenge-25 policy upon entry and at all bars. Please bring Photo ID with you. If you are fortunate to look younger than 25 you will be asked to provide photo ID to gain entry and to be served at the bar.
Tom is bringing his ID just in case and he’s 39. Although that is a bit pointless tbh as all the bar staff know him by now. But this joke was in the FAQs last year so it’s staying in every year.
Is there a dress code?
Of course not. Wear whatever you want. We encourage you to buy merch (please by merch, we need to recoup some of our losses). We will be having a fancy dress day. Keep a lookout on socials for this year’s theme (last year the theme was ‘DEAD’ and there were some HORRIFIC costumes)
Is the event outside?
This is a festival-style event and is open air so please dress accordingly and ensure you keep warm throughout. There is an indoor area and all the stages will be covered, but much of the space between stages is outdoors. It is also in the North of England so prepare for rain. But it’s in the height of Summer so bring suncream. Last year it got HOT.
Can I bring a bag?
You can bring big bags onto the campsite to bring all your camping supplies etc.
You can bring a small bag into the main festival site, this will be searched upon entry. We class small bags as no larger than 35cm x 40cm x 19cm (no bigger than an A4 sheet of paper).
We do not allow large bags into the festival site.
Can I bring a gas stove / BBQ / heater for our tent?
No. No cooking or fires of any kind are allowed on either the main site or campsite.
Can I bring camping chairs/umbrellas and blankets
Camping chairs are permitted on the campsite.
Other items not permitted on the main festival site:
Lanterns, Flares & Torches
Drinks
Food
Flags or Flag Poles
Banners
Drugs or Substances
Sharps (including nail files)
Laser Pens
Glass Bottles (including perfume)
Aerosols (including deodorant)
Animals
Large Bags & Rucksacks
Can we bring suncream with us?
Yes, but no glass bottles. Definitely bring some. Last year it got very hot.
Can I bring a dog?
No, unless it’s a guide or assistance dog. The Mad Dog will be there but she’s a working dog and she DOES bite.

ACTS and SET TIMES
Who will be performing at DeadMeet27?
We announce a new act every week over on the @deadmeetfestival instagram, so give us a follow on there to be kept up to date on acts as and when they’re announced. We’ll have comedy, wrestling, music, freaks and anything else we think you’ll like.
What time will the performances start?
Performances will start from 1pm
ACCOMMODATION
Can I camp at DeadMeet27?
Yes. BUT… You need to buy a camping pass. Anybody without a camping ticket will not be allowed access to the campsite at any point.
The campsite is for tents only. Campervans are not allowed and will be turned away at the gates.
The campsite will be accessible from 9am on Friday 9th July.
We respectfully request that all tents are removed from the campsite 12pm (noon) on Sunday 11th July.
Please take away everything you came with when you leave. Don’t be a scruff.
Can I camp next to my car?
No.
We have separate car park and camping fields. You’ll have to carry your stuff from one to the other. Don’t worry though, these are not far apart.
Can I bring a campervan or caravan?
The kind of insurance we have doesn’t allow us to offer campervan or caravan tickets and therefore they are not permitted on site. Not even in the car park.
Can I stay off-site?
Of course you can. There are plenty of hotels in the surrounding areas if you need one. There are two travel lodges and two Premier Inns close in Northwich and Knutsford that are pretty cheap, plus hundreds of other options. Give it a google
TRAVEL
Can I park at DeadMeet?
Yes! Car park passes are available to pre-book for £10. There may still be parking available on the day but it’s not a guarantee so we advise pre-booking to avoid disappointment. Pre-booked cars will get a priority and a slight discount on parking.
Is there public transport to get me there?
You can get public transport, however the stops aren’t conveniently close to the showground. The nearest public transport stops are
Bus:
Pear Tree Drive (3 miles)
Raynors Corner (2.5 miles)
Train:
Knutsford Train Station (6 miles / 11 min drive)
Can I get a taxi?
We strongly recommend pre-booking any taxis. These companies have not been vetted and verified by the festival, but local taxi numbers are:
Cheshire Car Taxi 01606 499 99
Knutsford Taxis 01565 740 540
AB Cabs Knutsford 07473 366 888
Or try Uber.
FOOD and DRINK
Can I bring food and alcohol in with me?
You can bring one case of beer OR 1 box of wine (up to 3L) OR 1 bottle of spirits (up to 1L – not glass – plastic or metal only) into the campsite ONLY
You can’t bring alcohol into the main festival site, but we do have fully stocked bars & our food offer is curated by local quality street food traders.
There are also soft drinks available to purchase at the bar and free drinking water is also available upon request.
Will there be food?
Yes. Last year there was hardly any queue for the bar because we made sure that we had enough staff to make sure nobody waited very long. This year we’re introducing even more small bars so waiting for a beer won’t be an issue and you can ake sure you see as many acts as possible.
What payment method does the bar accept?
The main bar takes payments via card only. Other concessions may vary.
What time does the bar shut?
We’re hoping to get a later license this year, but the bar will be open until at least midnight, and hopefully later.
FACILITIES and SECURITY
Will there be showers?
Yes, there will be showers available on the campsite only.
Will there be toilets?
Yes. Obviously there will be toilets. What a stupid question.
Will there be security?
Yes. Security searches will be in operation at entry to both the campsite and the festival ground as per legal requirements and at the discretion of our external security company. Please make sure you have no prohibited items on you as this may slow down your entry and you may be refused entry.
Security will also be on site to keep everyone safe and make sure nobody is being a dick. If you see someone being a dick, let security or a staff member know.
What happens if I’m being a dick?
Anyone being unnecessarily dick-ish will be removed by security with no refunds. Don’t talk during the acts obviously as it’ll ruin it for everyone else. Have a laugh, but don’t be a cunt and you’ll be sound.
Will there be gimps?
Yes. You.
