Pay 50% at the time of booking and the remainder in monthly instalments. There are no administration or interest charges

Monthly payments are NOT automatically debited. You will receive a link by email in the days before the instalment is due. You can follow the link in that email to make the payment by card. This doesn't have to be the same card used at the time of booking. Monthly payments commence on the 28th of the month after the original booking has been made, subject to a minimum of 30 days having elapsed between the booking date and the monthly payment date.

The instalment dates will be listed on the festival booking page. If you would like to pay off the outstanding balance at any time, or would like a payment schedule please contact us at info@podpads.com or call us on 01454-218974  

There is a deposit per unit payable of £25.00 or € 50.00 which will be added to your order when you make a booking. This is to cover any loss or damage incurred during the hire period. PLEASE be sure that you report to reception and return your keys to our reception staff before leaving site after the festival.

We reserve the right to hold back a £10 key-cutting charge for lost or unreturned keys.

After the festival, you will receive an email from info@podpads.com confirming whether your deposit is refundable. You will need to respond to this email in order to receive your deposit back, so please ensure that we are added to you safe senders list so the email does not end up in your junk folder!

If you and your friends have booked exactly the same type of accommodation then we will do our best to locate you next to each other. Please go to your order confirmation and click "edit your order details". Then click the change/cancel button and then scroll down to the "Camping with Friends?" section and enter your friends order number in the box. Alternatively email us at info@podpads.com

Opening times for our Reception will be listed in the Arrivals info email sent out one week prior to the Festival. You will be given onsite contact numbers to call if you anticipate arriving outside these Opening Times or if your journey gets delayed. Your accommodation will be ready for you at the same times as Festival main campsite opens. However, your access to the Festival site may be limited by the rules and regulations of the Festival itself. This will vary from Festival to Festival.

If you have made your booking though a third party such as Festicket or Ticketline then the above cancellation terms will not apply. Please check the third party terms and conditions.

Podpads do not sell festival tickets so these must be purchased through the official festival ticket outlets. The exception is Badminton Horse Trials where the price of the accommodation includes the appropriate number of adult passes.

Normally the festival ticket required is the weekend ticket with camping, however please check out the relevant festival information for details of the correct tickets required for each festival as it may be that a specific area pass must be bought.

The Podpad is our tried and tested signature product. It is a solid plywood structure, providing snug and secure accommodation to thousands of guests each year.

Staying with Podpads is certainly a huge upgrade from camping in regular festival fields.
Facilities available are dependent on the event you are attending, but at most of our events there are upgraded washroom facilities that guests can access situated near to our camping area, we have tea, coffee and phone charging faciltities as well as reception staff and extra security and fencing. For individual festival facilities please see individual festival pages.


Please be aware that you are still in the great outdoors and you will be staying in a festival field. Here are some things which we advise that you bring with you:

Extra bedding - even if you book accommodation which has bedding included you may wish to bring extra blankets to keep you warm at night. British summer nights can be cold!
