Oh God, aging hippy here, will I be able to take a chair

or picnic blanket, my back is too old to stand in a field all day

ha, ha know where your coming from! not that i'm an ageing hippy as such, but my other half is , and we will definately be taking chairs & cool bag and pitch up for the day! oh and fingers crossed for sunny one!

Sounds good to me, it's the only civilized way to go me thinks

Hope there wont be too many chairs around..I need room to dance!

We'll be bringing our Zimmers and a tupperware box of salmon and cucumber sandwiches.

I am nearly 6 months pregnant and am praying I can take my chair - I have emailed them so fingers crossed someone replies!!

i have been authorised to take a chair under my cirmustances so I am guessing no chairs allowed? am printing the email out and taking it with me as proof!

Who did you email, I sent an email off in to the ether asking about the chair situation but never got a reply

hi everyone...

i know there has been some discussion about the chair situation.

Here is the deal

The Hop Farm Festival is a freestanding festival for 30,000 people and not an open aired concert. With that said, there will be a chair free zone (an area closest to the stage), where chairs will not be allowed. But chairs will be allowed in other areas. So you will not be turned away on site if you bring a chair, but do bear in mind the small camping chairs are best.

It will be at security's discretion to ask folks to move their chairs if need be (obviously taking into consideration pregnant women and persons with little mobility).

Please no gazeebos, huts and massive picnic areas.

I do hope this helps.

See you at the HOP FARM FESTIVAL!

So what you're saying is, leave the Chesterfield at home, right?
