All Service Providers must contact Busses Farm at their earliest opportunity and at the very least within 7 days of the event. We must be informed well in advance of utility supply requirements to ensure there is compliance and compatibility of utilities.
Noise Levels and restrictions
We do not employ a sound limiter control device but to ensure that music is kept at an appropriate level a sound check must be done with a member of farm staff present to set the top levels which must then be adhered to. In event of excessive music or bass levels the sound will be shut off. Music must be switched off in the barn by 11.30pm. There is an onsite sound studio for after-hours music.
Music cut off times
Music in the barn must be shut off by 11.30 pm. We are only permitted to have music on the Saturday night. The ‘rave room’ is provided for after-hours music and does not have a shut off time.
Arriving and leaving the premises
We ask that attendees vacate Busses Farm and Harwoods Lane in a quiet and considerate manner in order to avoid disturbing the neighbourhood.
Please park in designated parking areas only and avoid parking in gateways or where large vehicle access is required. We ask that you drive considerately and at an appropriate speed level not exceeding 15mph in Harwoods Lane. The lane is in constant use by walkers, cyclists and other traffic.
