A welcoming and safe environment, it’s a place for families to connect, explore, and make lasting memories together.

Best of all, kids under 14 go free!

We are working to improve accessibility and welcome feedback on how to make the event more inclusive.

As this is a working farm, the terrain is uneven and may not be suitable for everyone. However, we have access points and will do our best to accommodate needs.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times to protect the surrounding wildlife and farm animals.

At Escape to the Farm, we believe in celebrating nature while protecting it. Hosted at Rushmere Farm, a working organic farm dedicated to sustainable food, biodiversity, and wildlife preservation, our festival is designed with the planet in mind.

All food and drinks are served in compostable plates and cups. We have a compost toilet in the woods to minimize water waste, and recycling stations are located throughout the site. Water refill stations are available, so we encourage you to bring a reusable bottle.

We ask all campers to take their waste home with them and be mindful of their surroundings. By working together, we can create a festival experience that honors the land, respects wildlife, and nurtures a more sustainable future.

Food and drinks can be purchased with cash or card.

The easiest way is by car, and we encourage lift-sharing. Alternatively, take a train to Havant, Purbrook or Petersfield and catch a bus to the festival.
