You will only be issued with sufficient Worthy View wristbands for the maximum occupancy of your tent. Please do not arrive expecting to squeeze more people into your tent, as we are not able to accommodate additional guests. Likewise if you have friends who are staying on the main festival site they will not be able to visit you in Worthy View; it s not worth dragging them up the hill as they won t be allowed access!
