Camping opens up on Friday afternoon. Camping ticket covers Friday and Saturday night with entry to the show on the Sunday  We have the club house at the club house at Prescott for food again on Friday and Saturday evening,.. so is nice and easy to camp with us  |

I'm considering camping this year depending on what the local lads are doing!
How much extra is camping and is there a deadline for booking tickets?

Is it like a proper campsite with toilets/showers etc, or just a field?

I'm considering camping this year depending on what the local lads are doing! How much extra is camping and is there a deadline for booking tickets? Camping is £25 which includes entry to the show on Sunday... deadline is as and when we run out of space .. 85 tickets left over 300 spaces already booked! Skoda Norman .. Instant BBQs are allowed, but we like them off the ground. We have a nice clubhouse/bar/restaurant on site which has food on Friday and Saturday night (in fact, the Saturday night at the club house is the place to be ) .. so you don't even need to bring your own evening meals.. Lawsy, a little from column A a little from column B ... it is a field but we have nice toilets and hot showers... I'm a man that likes my creature comforts, so Keefy makes sure we have nice facilities at the show  |

BBQs, drinking, socialising, more drinking, more socialising, repeat until asleep. It's the most un-cliquey event you'll ever attend, tbh if there were bands or DJs playing it would ruin the vibe.
At some point there will be a drunken tw4t wandering up to you with some dodgy brew, enthusing about your car, trying to make interesting* conversation and generally making a nuisance of himself. I'm apologising in advance.

Friday is fish or chicken and chips at the club house in Prescott, alongside some suitable videos, which was very pleasant last year.
Saturday, up to the club house again for a hog roast, after a day spent at Shelsey enjoying their big hill climb event.
Sunday, show day of awesomeness.
You can come to The Gathering without food or drink and still eat like a king, no fannying around with disposable BBQ. It is all very civilised.
