What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Firm, level ground
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Access for unloading at set-up
As a London location, Vauxhall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
