Toilets, Washing and Showers:
•
There are a large number of toilets situated around the site. These are marked on
your site guide.
• The site team will be cleaning these regularly – please help make this unpleasant
job easier by encouraging your group to leave a toilet as they'd like to find it.
• For people looking to just wash and avoid the queue we've created a solution – the
washing trough. Located on the campsite this should let you get ready and a fast
wash eac h morning.
• There are also a reasonable number of showers near the campsite. These are
marked on your festival guide. Showers are FREE . They are open at several
times each day, as displyed at sub-camp HQ.
• We would love to have more Showers on site but t hey do cost a great deal to
operate out in a big field...some day perhaps we'll achieve the bricks and mortar
version! In the meantime we want to make the camping experience as
comfortable as possible so we've installed as many as we can.

First Aid Provision
• Summer Madness is staffed by St John's ambulance first aid team 24 hours a day.
There is also a doctor on site at all times to provide further medical care if required.
We would ask that you would ensure that if your young people require attention
from our medical team then a leader or responsible adult should attend with them if
possible.
• Please remember in your preparation prior to coming to the festival to ensure you
have adequate awareness of any specific medical needs of the young people you
are responsible for. Do ensure they bring any regular medication as the doctor on
site will not be able to provide for this. Summer Madness would suggest that if you
or your young people are acutely unwell it may be best that you do not attend the
event. We are here to ensure the safety of you and your young people and as such
if we feel due to illness that remaining at the festival will cause risk to you or others,
we will recommend to the Summer Madness staff you should perhaps leave.
• There will be two drop-in clinics run daily by the doctors to deal with medical issues
arising over the festival. These will be from 0900 - 1000 and from 1700 to 1800
daily, in the first aid post marked in your festival guide. In the event of a medical
emergency requiring assistance outside these hours you will be able to contact the
on site doctor via the St John's ambulance team or Summer Madness staff.
