Discovery Festival has a no re-entry policy. Unless permitted by security at the entry gate on a case-by-case basis in emergencies.

No food and drink can be taken into the venue – a doctor’s note will permit food/drink required for medical conditions. Cups of water are available at the bars free of charge. You can also bring in an empty water bottle no more than 500ml.

Small folding camping chairs are permitted. There will be a designated area for these to be placed in. Please note camping chairs must be removed from their carry bags for inspection upon entry. No gazebos or blankets can be taken into the venue.

Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged unless the event is cancelled, or postponed, or there is a material change to the event. A ‘material’ change is a change which, in our opinion, makes the event materially different to the event that any purchaser of a ticket could reasonably expect. A change to the artists performing at the event shall not be a material change. Refunds should be obtained from the point of purchase. Personal arrangements including travel, subsistence and accommodation relating to the event which have been arranged by you are at your own risk. Discovery Festival will not be liable for the payment or any compensation of personal expenses related to the event.
