  • Be good to yourself and to those around you.
  • Have a good time, but not at the expense of anyone else.
  • If you or your friend is not feeling well, or something makes you feel uncomfortable, please approach Yours & Owls staff, security or First Aid for assistance… We are all here to help.
  • Be respectful of boundaries and personal space. 
  • No means no!
  • Clean up after yourself, and place any waste, recycling, or food compost in the correct bins!
  • Keep up the H20.
  • Use the actual toilets! 
  • Be mindful and respectful of our environment and neighbours when coming to and from the festival.

 

We reserve the right to refuse admission or to eject any attendee at our discretion if we feel someone’s behaviour is likely to cause damage, injury, nuisance, or annoyance, or if someone fails to comply with reasonable requests.

Yours & Owls is a homegrown product. Our team works, lives and plays in Wollongong! We are locals who care about our community and watching it grow.

  • Put your ciggie butts in provided disposal units too!
  • Say no to fast fashion, consider jazzing up some clothes you already own, taking to the op’ shops, or hiring some fresh threads from a festival outfit hiring service.
