Thursday to Sunday. 2027 is the festival's 20th anniversary.
What the organiser says about vans
- The 2027 dates and location are listed, with weekend camping tickets on sale. [1]
- We have not confirmed whether 2027 has a campervan pass, what it costs or what size it allows. The listing we read covers tents and car parking only — check the festival's own site.
- Pikehall is open, exposed country with narrow lanes off the A5012 and A515. Use the signed festival route, not the sat-nav's shortest one.
Numbered points come from the sources listed below. Points without a number are our own advice, not the organiser's.
Our plain advice
Sort the campervan question with the organiser before buying a ticket. If the van cannot go on site, the Peak District has the densest pub-with-car-park supply in England — but ask the landlord, do not assume.
