FAQs

Yes. We have a limited number of bell tents available to hire for the festival this year. They are fully kitted out with memory foam mattresses, rugs, cushions, tables, lamps and fairy lights. You’ll have an option of reserving duvets and pillows as well, meaning your sleeping bag can stay under the stairs at home this year. You’ll be set up in a separate field, just a short walk away from the general campers. The bell tents are also available without bedding, just bring your own duvet or a sleeping bag. The bedding is not available to hire on it’s own unfortunately, a bell tent must be reserved to give you the bedding option.

Bell tent tickets will go on sale on 2nd April 2017 along as part of the general ticket release. Festival tickets are not included in the bell tent ticket and must be purchased separately.

You are more than welcome to bring your live-in vehicles to our site for the weekend but you’ll have to purchase a campervan ticket (£35) which will go on sale on 2nd April 2017 as part of the general ticket release. Our pitches are roughly 7m x 7m, which should give you plenty of room for an awning. We don’t recommend bringing vehicles that are over 6m or 3.5 tons, as you may have trouble accessing the site. There is no power hook ups in the campervan site.

No. Your ticket price is the same whether you choose to camp or not.

Payment can be made by all cards associated with the VISA and Mastercard networks. Unfortunately we cannot accept American Express.

The tickets will be sent out via email after payment is complete. You must bring either a paper print-out or an e-copy of the ticket to gain entry to the festival, along with a valid form of photo ID. If you made the purchase on behalf of others, it is your responsibility to make sure your friends have a copy of their ticket.

Once you have made your payment, a confirmation email will be sent to you confirming your purchase. If you have not received your confirmation email within 24 hours please contact us on support@designmynight.com and we will be glad to help.

At ITW we want to make sure nobody misses out on the event. If you have a disability but are unsure of whether the festival will provide the appropriate facilities for you, then please get in touch and we will do everything we can to help you out.

As the festival takes place outside and in woodland the ground can be very uneven so if bringing a wheelchair be sure to use off-road tyres and take care when getting around the site. Viewing platforms are provided at both music stages and disabled toilets are available.

Part of the charm of ITW is the surprise.

As we like to keep the location of ITW a secret, we don’t give out the address until a few days before the festival starts. Now if that panics any of you don’t worry. We can tell you that it’s in Kent, about a 1.5 hour car journey from London. Those of you who want to take public transport can get a train from London to Staplehurst, which takes about 1 hour.

There will be a shuttle bus operating a return service from the station. The journey takes 20 minutes and can be booked in advance. We recommend booking to guarantee a seat, however you can purchase a ticket on the day. A timetable will be sent to you nearer the time letting you know which bus you can get.
