Country on the Castle — Family Friendly Country Music Festival, Tonbridge Castle, Saturday 11 September 2027

No — Country on the Castle is a family friendly event. All ages are welcome. Babies aged 0–2 require a baby ticket. Children aged 3–15 require a child ticket. Adults are anyone aged 16 and over. Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult (18+) at all times while on site.

Early bird prices are Adult (16+): £25, Child (3–15): £6, Baby (0–2): £1, and they are limited to the first 200 tickets. Once those are gone, prices rise for the standard release. All tickets must be purchased via Skiddle, our only official ticketing partner.

Gates open at 2PM. Last entry is 7PM. The event runs until 10PM. Please allow time for bag searches on arrival.

No — simply bring your ticket on your phone. Your QR code will be scanned on entry. Please make sure you have it downloaded and accessible before you arrive.

No food or drink from outside the festival site is permitted, with a few exceptions. You can bring an empty, refillable water bottle (there are free refill stations on site). If you’re bringing a baby or toddler under 3, you can bring what they need for the day: baby food, formula milk, expressed breast milk, and drinks in their own bottle or beaker. These must be in pouches or plastic containers, as glass can’t come on site. Flasks of hot water aren’t permitted either, so if your baby has formula, we recommend ready-to-feed cartons or bottles. Small snacks, glucose and drinks carried for a condition such as diabetes don’t need any paperwork. For any other food or drink you need for a medical reason, please bring written proof to show at the gate — for example a letter from your GP, consultant, hospital or clinic, or a repeat prescription naming you. Please email us in advance at events@saulyevents.co.uk so we can make arrangements and avoid holding you up on arrival. We have a fantastic selection of food and drink vendors on site throughout the day.

Yes — there are free refillable water stations on site. We encourage you to bring an empty reusable water bottle.

Yes, we accept both cash and card payments at our bars and food vendors.

Yes — several town centre car parks are within about a 5-minute walk of the festival site. Spaces are limited on the day and charges apply, so we encourage public transport where possible.

Yes — Tonbridge train station is approximately a 10-minute walk from the festival site, with regular services from London Bridge, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells.

Yes — our site is wheelchair accessible and has disabled toilets on site. If you have any specific requirements, please email us in advance at events@saulyevents.co.uk so we can best assist you. If you will be bringing a carer, note that carer tickets can only be applied for against tickets bought directly from Skiddle — see “Can I bring my carer?” below.

Yes — we offer one free carer ticket for each paying attendee who needs assistance.

How to apply: email events@saulyevents.co.uk with your Skiddle order reference, the name of the person who needs assistance, and a short note of the support they need. We check every application against the Skiddle booking and may ask for supporting documentation.

Carer and assistance tickets can only be issued against an admission ticket bought directly from Skiddle, our only official ticketing partner.

If your ticket came from anywhere else, we cannot issue a carer or assistance ticket against it. That includes Love to visit, resale or exchange sites, ticket agents, competition or package sellers, and any other third party — no matter how the ticket was described when you bought it. We know that is frustrating if you have already booked, but we can only verify and match a carer application against a booking made with Skiddle — we have no access to orders placed anywhere else. So if you will be applying for a carer ticket, please book through Skiddle.

Please apply in advance rather than on the day, and email us if you are unsure before you book.

Our bars operate a Challenge 25 policy. If you appear to be under 25, you will be asked to provide valid photo ID before purchasing alcohol. Accepted forms of ID include a valid passport, driving licence (full or provisional), PASS-accredited proof of age card, or Ministry of Defence ID card.

Yes. Medication lawfully prescribed to you is permitted, including cannabis-based medicinal products prescribed under the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001. Please bring it in its original pharmacy packaging with the dispensing label intact and showing your name, plus photo ID that matches the name on the label. For cannabis-based medication, please also bring a letter from your prescribing clinic confirming your prescription. Cancard, MedCannID and similar commercial cards are not prescriptions and cannot be accepted on their own. Cannabis-based medication may be used by medical vaporiser only — smoking it in any form is not permitted. A discreet area is available on request; please speak to a member of our welfare team, or contact us in advance at events@saulyevents.co.uk.

Pet dogs and other animals are not permitted on site — this is a live music event with high sound levels throughout the day. Assistance dogs are welcome. It helps us to know you’re coming, so if you can, email us in advance at events@saulyevents.co.uk and we’ll talk through the day with you, including sound levels and where to find water.

Yes — you are welcome to bring a compact folding camping chair or a picnic blanket, provided it does not obstruct sightlines or walkways. Bulky or oversized chairs, sun loungers, folding tables and pop-up gazebos are not permitted and will be refused at the gate.

No — once you have entered the festival site you will not be permitted to re-enter. The only exception is a medical emergency, which is at the discretion of the Security Manager. Please make sure you have everything you need before going through the gates.

Unfortunately there will be no phone charging facilities on site. We recommend bringing a fully charged portable power bank with you.

Our event day line is 07391 043108, staffed from set-up in the morning through to pack-down at night — 10AM until midnight. It is answered by our duty manager on site. Please use it for anything urgent on the day — including if you live nearby and event noise is causing a problem where you are, as we monitor sound levels throughout and can make adjustments while the event is running. For anything non-urgent, email events@saulyevents.co.uk.
