Standon Calling is a family friendly festival, committed to welcoming people of all ages year-after-year.

We split under 18 tickets into three brackets:

Accompanied Young Adult (16-17), Accompanied Teen (13-15), Child (4-12) and Infant (0-3).

All under 18s attending the festival must be accompanied by a responsible adult aged 21 or over for the duration of their visit – weekend or day.

Any Accompanied Young Adult or Accompanied Teen ticket must be bought in the same transaction as their accompanying Adult, with contact details for the accompanying adult given.

We operate a policy of one Adult for every two Young Adults or Teens.

Each named ticket holder will need to show ID if asked by security personal on arrival. If you cannot produce ID, you may not gain entry to the festival.

Type of ID accepted:

• Photo Driving Licence
• Passport
• PASS CARD

Although we issue Under 18 wristbands to anyone under the age of 18, we continue to operate Challenge 25 at our bars and reserve the right to refuse service of alcohol to anyone unable to show a valid photo ID.

Every year Standon Calling goers enjoy two major annual events, on top of all the brilliant music, family entertainment, comedy, street food and so on!
