Elderflower Fields South
When: 22 May 2020 - 25 May 2020
Where: Pippingford Park, Sussex
Elderflower Fields was born in 2012 out of a desire to create a new festival in Sussex which started with families and kids first, and then built the rest of the weekend around them. In our first year we really didn’t know what to expect. Intending to produce a party for a few hundred friends and family, our plans snowballed and before we knew it, we had sold over a thousand tickets. What is more surprising is that everyone loved it! The sun shone, kids played and we danced in the beautiful surroundings of the Bentley estate.
It was so popular that we did it again in 2013 and this time twice as many people came – largely encouraged through word of mouth from the previous year’s customers. We had more kids activities, more music and more delicious local food & drink. And the sun even came back too!
In 2014 we moved to a new, bigger venue, Pippingford Park. It’s beautiful, hilly and wild, and it has become a great home to us.
We intentionally keep Elderflower Fields small – it’s part of what makes it such a safe and special weekend for families. But we also try to increase the quantity and quality of the activities and performances every year, so that there’s always something new and exciting for our guests.

There are two main family camping fields with plenty of space for groups to camp together and kids to run around. The campsites open at 12noon on Friday and last admissions will be at 10pm. This is a family festival so we kindly request that, especially in the evenings and through the night, noise is kept to a minimum in the campsites.
If you are arriving by car, you must leave it in the car park. Cars will not be allowed anywhere beyond the main car park. The closest you can camp to the car park is about 100 metres, which would then be about a 200m walk into the main festival site. The furthest you could conceivably walk between the far corner of the car park and the farthest corner of the wild camping field is just over 1km (but it’s worth it in our opinion!).
