If you're having issues accessing your Wilderness account, please follow the below steps:

  1. First of all, please try to reset your password by visiting https://www.wildernessfestival.com/accounts/password-reset/
  2. If the password reset page returns an error message which says "No user found with that email address", then you most likely do not have an account with us. Either because you haven't yet set one up (see the note above about new accounts for 2023) or because when you set it up you accidentally input the wrong email address.
  3. New users need to activate their account using a link that will be sent via email. If you cannot see this email, please check your junk folder first. It will be sent from info@wildernessfestival.com with the subject "Wilderness account activation"
  4. If you can't find that email, or if the activation link has expired then contact us and we'll send you a new one.
  • To access your booking, you must have a copy of the lead booker’s photo I.D.
  • Group bookings must arrive together.
  • Some experiences, particularly Outdoor Activities and some Wellbeing Classes, may require additional equipment and/or certain clothing or for you to fill in a pre-arrival information form. Usually, if this is applicable, you can find this info on the experience’s website page and you will be sent a pre-arrival email reminder.
  • Some experiences may have age, height and other restrictions. Please read all the information on the experience’s page before booking to make sure that you or the person you’re booking for, are within these restrictions, as refunds and exchanges will not be available.
  • You can check the individual website page of every activity for all the info you need.
  • If you still have questions, contact us or head to the Info Tent at the festival.
  • We do not offer refunds on extra experiences.
  • We cannot change the time or day of your experience.
  • You can try exchanging pre-booked experiences at the festival at our Info Tent swapping tree. This is an entirely self-run option, whereby people can leave notes outlining either what they are trying to sell / would like to buy, along with a phone number so that others can contact them if this is of any interest.
  • Alternatively, you can give away an experience you no longer want. If you do this, make sure you pass on the confirmation email, a letter of authorisation and a copy of the booker's I.D. so the new owner can check in to the experience at the festival.
  • Details of what allergens can be catered for can be found on each dining experience page, please ensure you read these before booking and, if you book, advise of any allergies on arrival.
  • Unless specified otherwise on the chef's booking page, all our larger banquet restaurants/offerings have a vegetarian alternative available as standard. However, the Chef’s Table cannot facilitate dietary requirements.
  • Please be mindful that we are operating out of pop-up field restaurants and therefore are not able to accommodate all dietary requirements.
  • All our food is prepared in kitchens where nuts, gluten and other allergens may be present.

If you've booked an extra experience in advance, all you need is a copy of the lead booker's I.D. to check-in. Group bookings must arrive together.

If you have any questions about your experience(s), head over to The Info Tent, where there will also be a self-run ‘swapping tree’ for anyone trying to sell or buy extra experiences.

A lot of our experiences sell out in advance of the show. However, subject to availability, you can book into experiences at the festival, at the locations below:

The Info Tent: Outdoor pursuits & craft classes

Sanctuary Reception: Wellbeing classes & treatments

Spa & Sauna Reception: Lakeside spa hot tubs and sauna

Banqueting Tent: We’ve saved a limited number of seats for those who fancy joining last minute. Book between 10-11 am outside the Banqueting Tent.

Babies and little ones can sit on parents' laps at all restaurants except for The Chef's Table. If they're in a pram please ask on arrival to be seated at the end of a table.

Unless specified otherwise on the chef's booking page, we don't have a dedicated children's menu, so if you’re planning to have little ones eat with you they’ll need to be booked as an additional seat.
