Rewind Festival

The 2013 version of the hugely popular Rewind 80’s themed Festival is taking place at two separate venues this summer and Rewind festival tickets are very hot property! With a month between the two events, you’ve got plenty of time to get to Henley-On-Thames and to Scone Palace.

Rewind festival tickets are now available for purchase and a few specific types of tickets have already sold out. So if you’re interested in attending what is possibly the greatest celebration of 1980’s music on the planet, you should act sooner rather than later.

The Rewind festival takes you to the age of the reverberating 1980s. You get to see and experience the bands, music orchestras, fun fairs, live karaoke and so much more. The Friday night welcome party will give you the opportunity to mingle with fellow festival goers and make some new friends. This year you can choose between two beautiful venues, either the Temple Island Meadows in Henley or Scone Palace in Scotland. If you’re an absolute 80s fanatic you could even attend both!

If you’re a real party goer then pitch up in the middle of the action and start making friends in the main campsite. Or, if you prefer a silent night, opt to camp in the quiet or family zone and ensure that you catch those precious Z’s. We’ve gathered all of the information you’ll need when staying at the Rewind festival at 2013.

Rewind Camping Areas

At the Temple Island Meadows event: The campsite is located next to the River Thames, giving all festival goers the perfect scenery and setting for a weekend of festival fun. You’ll be able to find and use facilities all over the campsite, such as toilets and showers that are regularly cleaned and monitored. Obviously the most common option at all festivals is standard camping in the main site with hundreds of other nutty festival attendees. For what can only be described as one massive weekend bender, this is the place to be.

Alternatively, if you prefer luxury and comfort, and you’ve actually got the cash to splash then you could choose one of the ‘Glamping’ options. Tangerine Fields is an area where you book a pre-pitched tent, ready for your arrival. For the ultimate luxury, check out the Cloudhouses, Yurts and Squrts, each becoming your miniature home for the weekend. The Rewind festival campsite also has a designated family field, specifically for those with small children who’ll need their beauty sleep.

At the Scone Palace event: The campsite at Scone Palace offers all of the same things that the Temple Island Meadows site has, but obviously differs in location. As it is set in Scotland, the Scone Palace festival campsite is set in the beautiful and spacious location of Scone Palace grounds.
Glamping:

• Cloud Houses, Yurts and Squirts: All of these luxury accommodations are complete with furnished insides which include rugs, cushions, a table, light and beds allowing you to make the most out of your stay.
  
  
• Hotel Bell Tents: The bell tents feature inflatable mattresses, rugs, door mats, a light, tables, and 100% Egyptian cotton bed covers and towels. This means that you can stay in the festival area but with luxury of comfort and relaxation.

Of course Rewind festival also offers the Tangerine Felds, as mentioned earlier. This will allow you to experience the best out of your stay at Rewind and without any hassle.

Rewind Festival Arenas

The main arena consists of tons of wonderful facilities that help to make the Rewind festival as brilliant as it is. With a huge main stage presenting banging entertainment from start to finish, what more do you actually want?

Parking
The campsite is a 5 minute walk from the car park area, so the distance from your pitch to your car isn’t that far. You are not allowed to park by your tent and if you are bringing a vehicle to the festival, please make sure you park it in the correct area. Simply follow the signs and find yourself a space. Parking at the Rewind festival is free; all you have to do is collect a car park pass.

Disabled Facilities
There is a designated parking area for those with disabilities and valid blue badge holders, which is much closer to the entrance of the arena. Toilets, viewing platforms and other facilities will be provided and stewards are on hand 24/7 for your assistance.

Moorings
This is a premium facility available on the Thames this year. Moorings are available for the weekends and have to be pre booked. Day moorings are located downriver from Temple Island on the 'Barn Bar' side of the site. Premium moorings offer more facilities and come at higher prices.
