BLOODSTOCK LAUNCHES RESERVED CAMPING

BLOODSTOCK LAUNCHES RESERVED CAMPING

PLUS ADD-ON ROMANCE, BIRTHDAY, & BUTLER OPTIONS

Have a favourite spot in your preferred campsite? Worrying that someone may get there before you? BLOODSTOCK is pleased to announce the introduction of RESERVED CAMPING. For a small fee, you can turn up whenever you like and know your favourite patch is yours. Not only that, there’s some brilliant new bonus options too!

A reservation system launches May 6th, allowing you to pre-select the exact spot you want to camp. Ever booked seats for a gig? Imagine that, but for every campsite at BLOODSTOCK. One square = one tent. If you’re camping with friends, simply book enough squares to cover your group. You will need the email address of the ticket buyer(s) to complete your reservation; each booking is limited to 5 squares. At Catton Park, pitches will be marked with a matching letter & number grid system using hedgehog-friendly paint outlines. Prebook your square(s), and then simply go to your grid ref!

Squares are priced in three tiers. Gold squares will be closest to campsite entrances or nearest showers or food stands. The bulk of the squares will be Silver. Bronze squares are the cheapest to reserve, but may be furthest away. For every 5 squares pre-booked, you can add-on a bonus £10 square for a gazebo. There are a limited number of bonus gazebo pitches available first come, first served.

BLOODSTOCK is also trialling some new waist high, compostable toilets in 2025. While you will still be able to see your metal brethren, your privacy is assured. As some pitches will surround these, these are marked out as black skulls on the reservation diagram. Anyone reserving a square immediately adjacent will have no reservation fee and will be emailed a drinks voucher for one free drink, exchangeable at Lemmy’s Bar.

Each campsite will still have an area for non-reserved camping, where you can just turn up and pitch your tent as in previous years.

Once you’ve chosen your patch to reserve, you’ll be able to add-on some additional, new packages!

Feeling romantic? Pre-book a timeslot to have BLOODSTOCK pop-by and decorate the inside of your tent with red rose petals, heart-shaped balloons, battery-operated tealights, and a bottle of chilled prosecco (or Nozeco)! There’s even a goth option if you’d prefer everything in black!

Got a birthday in your group? Book a timeslot for the birthday package, and have your friend’s tent festooned inside with balloons, a card from S’tan, a banner, a bottle of chilled prosecco (or Nozeco), and a small birthday treat.

Subject to availability, packages can be arranged during festival weekend at the campsite info hub – just turn up and give them your pitch reference and pay! Unfortunately, BLOODSTOCK is unable to offer this service in non-reserved camping.

Looking for the full 5* experience? Available in all campsites, treat yourself and your group to The Geezer Experience and enjoy the services of your very own Heavy Metal Butler!

One butler can serve up to 5 people, and you can pre-book for one day or for the whole event! Once you are set up at BLOODSTOCK, report to the campsite info hub to collect your AirTagged Butler Buzzer. Then, anytime you want your butler to bring you something, simply press the call button and wait for your butler to turn up and take your request. Butlers can handle requests for food, drinks, and merchandise, and will be equipped to take card payments. Don’t fancy leaving your campsite party for more drinks? Got a great spot to watch a band and don’t want to queue for merch? Want to prearrange coffee delivery to your tent in the morning? Call your butler!

A limited number of Geezer experiences are available, so if this appeals to you, book quickly once the reservation system opens on May 6th!

BLOODSTOCK will take place at Catton Park, Derbyshire on 7th-10th August 2025.
