Zzzz. We strongly encourage you to plan your weekend so you are sober and ready to drive by the time the festival closes, but if when it comes time to leave the site Tuesday lunchtime, you judge that you are not in a fit state to drive and wish to remain on site to sleep it off, ask our staff about the camping area next to the front gate which has been allocated for this purpose. You may setup your tent here and camp for one night until you are able to travel safely.
