CHASING CARS

CHasing Cars are a 4-piece rock covers band based in Brighton. Classics from the 70s to the 00s

Isfest offers a selection of locally sourced food and drink, including a mouth-watering Hog Roast supplied by the Poachers Pocket from South Brockwells Farm. We are also happy to welcome MOMO for the first time, a local business from Crowborough, who will be providing a tasty range of authentic home-made Nepalese street food.

There’s a well-stocked bar offering local cask ales and ciders, wines, spirits and soft drinks.

The bar and MOMO will open from 5pm and the Hog Roast should be ready by 7pm.  Food will be available until approximately 9pm, whilst the bar will close at 11.30pm.

ISFEST Tickets

Tickets will be available from 30th June and cost £10 for age 16 and over if bought in advance and £15 if bought on the gate. Under 16’s are free, but tickets are still required for numbers.

We’re delighted to offer camping on Saturday 16 August only. Pitches are only available to those who purchase festival tickets - please note that ENTRANCE TO THE SITE WILL NOT BE PERMITTED before 2pm on 16 August and without a valid pitch pass accompanied by a valid festival entrance ticket for each camper.

Camping costs just £10 for a pre-allocated pitch for the night. Please be aware that there will be toilets available for your use but there are no showers or electrical hook ups. Camping pitches are limited, so please book your ticket(s) online in advance to avoid disappointment.

Tents, motorhomes, caravans and trailers are all welcome onto the festival campsite: If your accommodation exceeds the pre-allocated pitch size, then additional pitches must be booked to cover the total size and paid for in advance.

For health and safety reasons, we cannot allow any bonfires or barbecues on the field.  Campers are welcome from 2pm on Saturday 16 August and must have departed by 2pm on Sunday 17 August.  It is not permitted to pitch tents or caravans in advance of 16 August, due to public liability insurance requirements.

ISFEST is easy to find. We are in the heart of Isfield village, situated just behind The Laughing Fish pub and adjacent to the Lavender Line steam railway. ISFEST is a short drive from Brighton, Lewes, Uckfield and the surrounding areas and is well served by local bus services.  Free festival, off road parking available.

From Lewes

Head north on the A26 out of Lewes. Follow the A26 past The Cock Inn and Goldcliffe Garden Centre. Once you've passed the Local Fuels petrol station, take the next left onto Isfield Road - signposted "Lavender Line". Follow Isfield Road into the village and follow the numerous signs from there into the festival car park.

From Uckfield

Head South from Uckfield on the A26 (via A26/A22 roundabout, just outside Uckfield). After just over a mile turn right into Horsted Lane - signposted "Lavender Line". Follow Horsted Lane into the village and follow the signs from there to the ISFEST car park.
