Tell us about the Festival 

THE FESTIVAL IS ABOUT OPTIONS &
WHAT FEELS RIGHT FOR YOU

The event runs for 4 days and 3 nights from Thursday morning to Sunday afternoon. Guests stay overnight in their preferred choice of camping, glamping (basic or furnished) or offsite accommodation.

 

There will be multiple workshops and activities running at any one time and you have the choice of attending information talks, workshops, dance or craft classes, listen to live music or performances, receive a massage or treatment, peruse the markets or explore the festival grounds.

 

There are no pre-bookings for workshops; you simply turn up on the day. In the evenings you can enjoy Dj's, late-night workshops, campsite chats and more.

 

There is the opening and closing ceremonies and the Welcome to Country, which we encourage women to attend; to help set the mood and intention for the beginning and end of the gathering.

 

On Sunday our beautiful event will conclude with a closing ceremony at 2:30/3pm, allowing women enough time to pack up camp and travel safely home before the new week begins.

GENERAL CAMPING

Camping onsite is a big part of the festival experience; living in a village of women and immersing yourself night & day in the Festival activities.

 

CAMPSITES:

General Camping is included in your ticket.

Onsite we have designated camping areas marked out by signs and bunting and are further specialised into camping areas for:

  • Glamping 

  • Mums and bubs

  • RV/trailer and caravan camping

  • Sleeping in car

  • Mobility friendly/accessible camping  

  • General camping

 

There are no personally allocated plots, except for accessible camping and RV's, caravans & trailers camp zones (approx 4x14m plots) which can be purchased. 

Everyone else simply drives in, heads to their designated vehicle pass, parks and sets up their campsite.

Please note that parked cars are separated but not too far from camping areas for convenience and safety reasons.

More info, diagrams, and maps are coming soon. First in, first serve.

SITE MAP can be viewed and downloaded here

CAR PASS 

To reduce the number of vehicles, traffic and onsite vehicle movement, we have car passes.

All guests camping onsite are required to purchase a pass per car from $45

OUR MUMS & BUBS CAMP ZONE: has a “Mums & Bubs Lounge” which is equipped with change tables, bathtubs and feeding chairs. It is located conveniently close to the festival to minimise walking.

The festival site operates on a TOTAL FIRE BAN. 

This includes:

  • No campfires, candles, fires, pyrotechnics, firecrackers, sparklers or flares. 

  • No gas stoves or BBQ’s (these will be checked at the gates & grounds and confiscated until after the event). 

FACILITIES: The site is a farm site, therefore all facilities are being brought in for the event. There will be portaloos, composting toilets and hot water showers available in the campgrounds. Hot water showers are free, but we encourage you to be waterwise.

Accessible showers and toilets are also available and located directly at the accessible camping area located at the top of the hill. 

Please note that there are no cooking or refrigerated storage facilities available. We do have ice for sale at the Info Tent for your eskies and a hot water station to fill up your thermos.

We also have several food vendors serving a wonderful assortment of tasty food options, for all dietary requirements and preferences.

INFO TENT: is available to answer questions, sell ice, phone charging and for general info and message board.

CARAVAN/ TRAILERS: You are welcome to bring your trailer or caravan but you must reserve a specific Caravan/ trailer pass. These spots are very limited and will entitle you to an approx 4m wide x 14m long level and easily accessible camping/parking area. Cost is $170+ Booking fee. This does not include power or water.
