Whitby Folk Week 2012
18th August to 24th August 2012
Moor & Coast Temporary Campsite
Whitby Community College
Friday 17th August to Saturday 25th August 2012
Moor & Coast is running a temporary campsite for the period over the Whitby Folk Week (18th – 24th August). It will be at the Whitby Community College, and will be open from 12 noon on Friday 17th August till close at 2 pm on Saturday 25th August 2012.
There are a limited number of pitches available to visitors who are in the town for the folk festival. They do not have to be ticket holders, dancers or associated with the festival but have an interest in the event and stay in Whitby for that reason, and all pitches will have to be pre booked.
The site was used for the past few years during Folk Week and has proved popular with those camping on it. The ground is flat; short grassed and has easy access. It has indoor toilets, hot showers and fresh water tap. It does not have electric hook ups. Staff are on site 24 hour a day for the whole period but are not responsible for personal property or possessions.
The Campsite is within easy walking distance from the town centre and a short walk from the main festival venues and office.
Children Not allowed to camp without adult supervision. Half camping fee under 14.
General Information
Open to public 12 noon Friday 17th August till 2.00pm Saturday 25th August 2012.
No Dogs or Pets Allowed on site
Wet weather conditions can cause a problem but the college staff will make every effort to accommodate our campers. Please be advised by them if weather is wet.
Car Parking and Pitches you may park your vehicle next to your tent or caravan, but please leave a gap of TEN FEET (3 Metres) between your pitch (and Car) and the next. There is plenty of room on the site. Please pitch your tent/camper/caravan in line will the next. It is much easier for the stewards to keep watch on lines of pitches than encampments…
It may be easier for you to leave your car on site and walk into town. A footpath at the rear of the college brings you out almost in the town centre. Parking in Whitby is limited and car parks can prove expensive. Vehicle movement at night must be restricted. Please keep noise down to a minimum when moving around the site especially after dark and returning late at night.
We would like to keep the site friendly but quiet…
Pitch Markers must be displayed in your vehicle. On arrival you will be given a coloured pitch marker (refundable deposit £1), which denotes your pitch number. Pitches are not marked on the field and you may pitch where you wish with the agreement of the campsite steward.
Departures pitches must be vacated by 11.00am of the day of your leaving. Please hand in your pitch marker and reclaim your £1 deposit. You may be able to park on site after packing away, but please tell the stewards of your intentions before 11.00am.
Awnings are allowed at no extra cost.
