Recycling

Blackheath is a lovely green part of the city and we’d like to keep it that way so please respect the environment by using the many recycling points and bins provided to keep the site and surrounding area clean.

We love this part of London and want to be good neighbours so please respect people living locally by arriving and leaving the festival peacefully and quietly. By all means let off steam while on site!

The tented stages and venues at OnBlackheath have a maximum capacity that we are legally obliged not to exceed. If you’re very keen on a certain artist or band please arrive early to avoid disappointment. Once the venues are full we will be enforcing a ‘one in, one out’ policy in the interests of crowd safety.

Re-admission

Re-admission is permitted at OnBlackheath as long as you have your ticket stub and a valid wristband, which must be intact and on your wrist so if you live nearby then you’re very welcome to drop the children with the baby sitter and come back for a dance!
