Arrival
- The entrance to the site is marked Dadford Road campsite
- Continue on the farm track, past the buildings, until you get to the woods that is part of the event site
- There will be a temporary road for vehicles made from wood chip running through the event site
Our gate team will be on hand to meet you by the side of the track at the boundary of the event site. They will be able to answer any questions you have on the day and give you additional direction.
There are temporary roads made of wood chip that go through the out-of-character camp, through Anvil and back round to the farm track. Vehicles are allowed to leave the road provided the conditions are acceptable, please check with a member of crew for further details when you are on site.
OOC Camping Fields
The OOC camping fields are adjacent to the Anvil fields. There is a large field behind the woods for the use of Dawn and Wintermark and anyone else who wishes to use it. There is a second large field that runs alongside the farm track.
IC Camping Fields
Anvil is now spread over the small woods and the two adjoining fields. You can drive onto the roads through IC camping fields provided that you do so before time-in, but you can only leave the roads if the weather is dry and the ground is in good condition, please check with a member of crew for further details when you are on site.
Crew Camping Fields
- Camping for crew only
The crew camping field is for crew only. Crew may choose to camp here or in any of the player camping areas. GOD, and monster will all operate from this area.
Mobility Needs
There will be special dispensation for players with significant mobility needs. Please check with the gate staff on arrival - email us at matt@profounddecisions.co.uk to discuss what arrangements will suit you best.

Site regulations
Ground Fires
Fires must not be set on the ground, they must only be lit on the oil drums provided or an equivalent that keeps the fire off the ground. Existing fires should be completely extinguished each night. We are arranging firewood for the site. The site includes land that is actively farmed - so please do not throw rubbish that does not burn into campfires - particularly tins, bottles and bottle tops.
Rubbish
Please make sure that all your rubbish is suitably bagged and disposed of in the skip before you leave site. Do not overfill your rubbish bags - more bags are available on request from GOD at any time. The skip is located in the main OOC field. Please ask for directions if you cannot find it.
