Festival Overview

·         Lovebox is a very chilled out 3 day festival with about 25,000 day ticket holders each day and no camping.

·         It is held in Victoria Park in London.

·         We will be providing welfare & lost property.

·         We only have one welfare post.

·         This event is expected to be very quiet, over the last couple of years we have only had a handful of people to deal with.

·         We are operational on Friday 15^th -Sunday 17^th July each day from midday until midnight. The punters all go home at midnight and we can party.

·         Sarah & Chris Crockford will be on site from Friday at 10am.

·         More details can be got by emailing Sarah Crockford, on the day please ring Sarah on 07751145805.

·         We have a budget for 3 crew to be on at any one time.

Travel & Getting In

Camping & Food
