			==What to (not) bring==

			===Can I bring pets?===

			Sorry, animals (except registered assistance animals) are not allowed.

			===Can I smoke?===

			Smoking (including vaping) is not allowed in any of the event tents or in the food/bar area. Elsewhere, please be considerate and very careful to extinguish your cigarettes to avoid setting the dry grass on fire. Please make sure cigarette butts are disposed of in rubbish bins rather than just thrown on the ground as the site is used by livestock at other times of the year, and it's a pain for the clean up crew to pick them up after the camp is over!

			===Can I bring X/Y/Z?===

			tl;dr Probably

			Please let us know if it's going to be large/tall/use a lot of power/be noisy or anything else you think we should know. We don't want to stop people bringing the latest cool laser helmet for shark 3D printer arduino-powered UAV thing, but we need to plan for it.

			Things requiring special permission and may not be allowed: balloons, sky lanterns and the like.

			===Can I bring/fly my drone?===

			Yes - lots of attendees will be bringing drones and there will be a dedicated UAV flying field. It is against UK law to fly drones over the campsite unless you hold permission from the UK Civil Aviation Authority. EMF will be enforcing this rule, and for safety we will not allow UAVs to be flown over the site without prior arrangement.

			===What power connectors will be available?===

			Mostly 16A IEC309 ('Ceeform'/'Caravan') connectors although there will be some 13A UK sockets. See the [[Power\|power page]] for more information.

			===Do I need to bring cash?===

			The bar will take cards, and offer cashback on purchases, but there will be no cashpoints on site. We don't know whether the food vendors will take cards, and some villages will also be running paid-for workshops where you shouldn't expect to be able to pay by card.
