Additional Fire Regulations

Please note that there are additional fire regulations in force at this event.

Due to the exceptionally hot dry summer that we have been having, the grass in the main camping fields has become very dry. That means there is an increased fire risk at the event, so we are putting in place additional fire regulations to manage this risk. Please make sure that you read these regulations carefully.

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.

We aim to make our events accessible to all and will do everything possible to help you enjoy the event.

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.
