Leave no trace- Zero waste
Our aim is to create a zero-waste festival, and to ensure this the best solution we found is for everyone to bring their own dishes to use throughout the event. To keep costs down for catering, we have created a DIY wash station for you to use, which will be attended by volunteers to assist with general flow and maintenance.
Small garbage bags will be given as you arrive. Please take all of your rubbish home with you, do not litter and remember to tread lightly.

What is the capacity of WVF
Wild Village is a small, boutique festival because we believe in creating an intimate, safe space for people.
We want the Wild Village to feel like coming home. We want it to be big enough to feel as though we are part of a movement, but small enough to leave with strong, deep connections to our Sisterhood. We want it to feel like a family, a community, a Village. Therefore, spaces are limited! We expect capacity to be 3-400, with a maximum of 500.
-
Do I need to print my ticket?
If you can, please have a copy of your ticket + any add ons via the scan code on your phone. If you do not have access to a phone or device, please print your ticket and bring along. Your ID must match the name printed on your ticket.
-
Is Wild Village an inclusive space?
We welcome all women in resonance with sisterhood, regardless of (and not limited to) age, race, religion, ability, sexuality or medical status. By attending our events you agree to treat each other with kindness, respect, and uphold values of non-discrimination.
