We’ve updated how Forbidden Forest tickets work for 2026 – so here’s your simple step-by-step guide to make sure you get the right ticket and all the extras you need during the presale.
Step 1 – Choose your festival ticket type
Everyone who attends Forbidden Forest needs a festival ticket. Depending on what festival ticket you buy, you’ll either have access to one of the Forbidden Forest campsites or purely just the festival arena.
You’ll choose between:
- Weekend Camping – if you’re staying on-site in one of our campsites.
- Weekend Non-Camping – if you’re staying off-site and travelling in each day.
Step 2 – Choose your campsite (if you’re camping)
We’ve made it easier than ever to get exactly what you want out of your Forbidden experience. You’ll now pick from three camping experiences:
- Forbidden Fields – Our standard camping area. Bring your own tent and enjoy the classic Forbidden Forest camping experience.
- Forbidden Fields Plus – An elevated camping experience which includes:
– Fresh toilets & showers
– Pamper areas
– Chill-out Zones
– Free priority car parking
– Exclusive food & drink vendor - Forbidden Lakeside – Our most exclusive campsite to give you a true VIP Forbidden experience.
– VIP Arena Access
– Forbidden Lakeside Retreat access which includes a Swimming Pool, Hot Tubs, a Sauna, Secret DJ sets & Chill-out Zones.
– Fresh toilets, showers & pamper areas
– Exclusive catering tent with additional food and drink vendors
– Free priority car parking
If you had a standard 3 or 4-Day Camping ticket in previous years, that’s now called Forbidden Fields. VIP Arena access included in all Forbidden Lakeside tickets.
Step 3 – Choose your accommodation (Optional)
Don’t fancy bringing your own tent to Forbidden Forest? No problem! Pink Moon is back and you can upgrade to Pre-Pitched or Boutique accommodation options in your chosen campsite.
- Pre-Pitched – Your basic tent is all set up and ready for when you arrive. You don’t have to worry about taking it down when you leave either!
- Boutique – Luxury options such as bell tents, yurts and larger tents.
PLEASE NOTE: All pre-pitched and boutique camping options must be purchased directly via Pink Moon. You must have the correct festival ticket type that matches your accommodation. If you want to book pre-pitched accommodation, you must have at least a Forbidden Fields Plus ticket. If you want to book boutique accommodation, you must have a Forbidden Lakeside ticket.
Please double check which campsite your desired accommodation is located in and purchase the required festival ticket.
Step 4 – Choose your payment option
We’re making it as easy as possible to secure your Forbidden Forest ticket this year.
Deposits start from just £10* with a Forbidden Payment Plan. Secure your spot and spread the remaining amount from now until June.
You can buy your ticket with:
- Pay in full – Purchase your ticket outright and don’t worry about any additional monthly payments.
- Payment Plan – Secure your ticket with a small deposit and pay the remaining balance off each month up to the festival.
- Buy Now, Pay Later – Choose either Klarna or PayPal at checkout and select any of their payment options.
No stress. No big payments.
Step 5 – Sort your travel
We’ve made getting to Forbidden Forest easier than ever:
- Big Green Coach – Choose from over 15 pickup locations, right across the UK and get dropped off right at the festival gates. Purchase your coach travel along with your festival ticket.
- Parking Add-On – Included for free with Forbidden Fields Plus & Forbidden Lakeside tickets. (If you’re in standard Forbidden Fields, you can add parking separately.)
Step 6 – Get your hands on a Forbidden upgrade whilst you can!
Upgrades include:
- VIP Arena Access – Our newly revamped VIP area in the heart of the arena. With VIP bars, an exclusive cocktail bar & chill out areas, luxury toilets & more.
- The Forbidden Backstage Pass – Access to the exclusive viewing platform on Azteca as well as a backstage bar, luxury toilets & more.
- Forest Fresh showers & toilets – Posh showers & loos, cleaned after every use to give you a comfort in the middle of The Forest.
THat’s it – you’re in!
You’ll receive your email confirmation from one of our official ticketing partners (Vivenu, Paylogic, Skiddle, Big Green Coach). Tickets will be sent out much closer to the event so keep an eye on your inbox for all FF26 updates.
