TICKETS
Unfortunately, all tickets are non-refundable. We will once again be partnering with Tixel, a secure site that allows fan-to-fan sales. Please keep an eye on Tixel for the resale page going live. https://tixel.com
If you have purchased refund protection and believe you have a legitimate exemption to the refund rule, you will need to contact SeeTickets customer support. Refund protection is a service provided from Ticketplan via See Tickets, it doesn't necessarily cover all circumstances. You can contact them directly to query this but see their terms and conditions here.
After a huge demand for this scheme last year, we are revising how we offer this scheme. We will be sharing more information on our socials and through mailers once the scheme is up and running.

DISABILITY ASSISTANCE
Please go to our Accessibility page here to read our full policy.
We have the following accessible provisions at the festival:
- Personal Assistant / Companion Ticket
- Viewing Platforms
- Accessible Parking
- Accessible Toilets
- Lowered Bar Areas
If you would like to register to use any of these facilities, first purchase a ticket through our website, and then email accessibility@teamlove.org for a link to the application form. You can also use this email address if you have any queries about the accessible facilities at the festival, need clarification or advice.
Please note that submission of the form alone does not automatically guarantee eligibility for use of the accessible facilities. If you have any queries about eligibility, please contact us prior to purchasing your ticket at accessibility@teamlove.org.
Our accessible facilities will only be available to ticket holders who have pre-registered their requirements. This is to ensure that we have time to put appropriate provisions in place on site. Please complete the form no later than 29th of April 2026. Information packs will be sent out to anyone who has successfully registered during the week before the event.
Ashton Court is an open green-field site. It has some limited tarmac paths on the peripheral entrances and exits, however most of the space involves inclines and uneven terrain. While there will be some sheltered areas (some small tents and marquees), it is predominantly an open-air event. Ground conditions are therefore weather dependent; if we experience extreme weather the ground has a tendency to become muddy and the grass may well get churned up. This means that mobility across the site may become compromised. We ask you to consider this before purchasing a ticket.
For a full breakdown of site accessibility, please check out our accessibility page here. There is more information on the accessibility page concerning:
- Induction Loops
- British Sign Language (BSL) Interpreters
- Assistance Dogs
- Strobes
- Medical Services and Welfare Are
- Accessoloo
- Diverse Sensory Calm Space
If you have any queries, please contact accessibility@teamlove.org or call 0117 941 1611
Please note: The disabled access facilities are for festival goers with permanent disabilities. Unfortunately, pregnancy and those with recent or temporary injuries such as broken legs, hip replacements etc do not qualify.
This is predominantly an open-air event, and while there will be some sheltered and seated areas, most stages and viewing platforms will be uncovered. Please consider this and prepare for the increasingly unpredictable and adverse British summer. Prepare for rain and mud or heat and dust by bringing layers and packable clothing such as waterproof coats, hats and sunglasses. Ground conditions are also weather dependent; if we experience extreme weather the ground may become muddy and the grass may well get churned up, so appropriate footwear and caution with mobility aids is advised. In extreme heat, the ground may become dusty so those with sensitivities or allergies should come prepared with any medications in their original packaging and with prescription labels.
If you take any medication regularly and need to bring it with you, please make sure it is in the original packaging with your prescription label on it. If you have queries regarding bringing prescription medication please contact accessibility@teamlove.org

Love Saves The Day takes place in Ashton Court, which is an open air green-field site. It has some limited pavement, gravel and tarmac paths on the peripheral entrances and exits, however most of the space consists of grass and green space. While there will be some sheltered areas (some small tents and marquees), it is predominantly an open-air event, with most stages uncovered - we would advise all attendees to be prepared for the unpredictable and increasingly adverse British summer weather. Prepare for rain and mud or heat and dust by bringing layers and packable clothing / provisions such as waterproof coats, hats, sunglasses and sunscreen. Ground conditions are also weather dependent; if we experience extreme weather the ground may become muddy and the grass may well get churned up, or may dry out unevenly, so appropriate footwear is advised.
To get in touch with us, please email: enquiries@lovesavestheday.org
food & drink
There will be plenty of reasonably-priced bars and traders on site providing a wide variety of refreshments all day long. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options will be available.
We encourage attendees to bring their own empty reusable water bottles, and there will be multiple water refilling stations around the site.
We can’t allow attendees to bring their own food and drink into the venue. There should be food available to cater for most dietary requirements but please do check with each individual vendor in advance of purchasing food if you have particular requirements or allergies. If you have concerns or wish to speak with someone regarding a special dietary requirement which impacts your health, please contact enquiries@lovesavestheday.org
We operate a cashless system across all the bars at Love Saves. Some traders and fairground rides may still accept cash payments, but please ensure you are able to pay on card or Apple / Google Pay before entering the site.
We will once again be running our reusable cup scheme at certain bars. There will be a levy on your first cup - if you always bring your empty cup back to the bar, you won’t be charged again.
site services
We have a fully equipped Medical Centre on site that is manned by qualified staff. Please make yourself aware of its location as you enter the festival. If you suspect somebody is unwell take them to the Medical Tent. If in severe cases they are not moving, please do not attempt to move the individual. Alert a member of Security or a Steward immediately who will call for the exact help needed.
If you take any medication regularly remember to bring it with you in the original packaging with your prescription label on it and make your friends aware of any illness or allergies you may have. Look after yourself and those around you.
The Welfare Tent is located right next to the Medical Centre. If you need to grab a quiet five minutes or just want someone to talk to, the Welfare Tent provides a safe and non-judgemental space to do this.
We will be running a cloakroom, this can be found at the Info Tent. Please check back nearer the day for prices to store large and small items.
