The Essentials

Leeds Festival 2027 will take place on Thursday, 26th – Sunday, 29th August 2027 at Bramham Park in Leeds. Weekend Early Entry Camping Ticket holders can access the campsites from Wednesday 25th August.

We welcome all ages to the festival. However, there are entry restrictions for under 16s and we do advise not bringing young children. Anyone 15 and under must be accompanied by a ticket holder over 18 years old at all times. Children under 13 years are admitted free. ID may be required upon entry to the event.

For information purposes only, age checks will also be carried out on the entrance gates.

We operate a Challenge 21 policy at the festival.

Please bring ID if you look under 21 years old and remember that legally there is no automatic right to be served alcohol. Service is always at the discretion of the licensee for whatever reason they decide, and the licensee is under no obligation to explain the reason.

The following forms of identification are accepted:

• A Passport (Not a photocopy)
• Full Driving Licence or Provisional Licence
• A Proof of Age Card bearing a PASS hologram
• A Ministry of Defence identity card
• A National identity card issued by an EU member state

Please bring the original document as you won’t be able to use a photocopied version. If you don’t have any of these, or don’t want to lose valuable documents on site, we suggest that you apply for a PASS approved ID, some of which are free to get.

Please note, your ID must be in date in order to be valid.

We do not accept any parental or supervisory duty of care or liability for any under 18’s on site.

Young Children
Whilst we do allow under 13s to attend for free, we do suggest that this event is not suitable for young children.

On entering the event, children will be given Tyvek wristbands which have space for you to write your telephone number (as a parent or guardian). We can use this as a primary contact to reunite you. Replacements can be picked up at the Wellbeing Tent.

We operate a Challenge 21 policy. The following forms of identification are accepted:

• A Passport (Not a photocopy)
• Full Driving Licence or Provisional Licence
• A Proof of Age Card bearing a PASS hologram
• A Ministry of Defence identity card

Please note: This may vary with certain establishments/traders onsite. Please be aware that bar staff always reserve the right to ask for proof of age if you look under 21.
