Hello I have purchased a ticket by giving a £75 pledge on crowdfunder. I’ve since then purchased a caravan pass. What I wanted to ask is do you give any allowances for a carer as I suffer from Emphysema stage four and if so where can I make an application.? Would appreciate some feedback if possible. Thanks.
Hi There Andy,
Please could you send us an email via info@offgrid-festival.co.uk.
We can then work out a solution for you.
