I am a Companion Card holder and would like to attend Breath of Life Festival? What is your policy?
Breath of Life Festival is a member of, and supports the Tasmanian Companion Card Program. Any Companion Card holder who purchases a Breath of Life ticket will be given free entry for their carer. Companion Card holders must simply present their Companion Card at the front entrance and their carer will be given free entry to the festival. For additional information about the Companion Card Program, please visit Companion Card. For catering quantity purposes, please contact us via www.breathoflifefestival.com to confirm attendance into the VIP area.

Can I bring food and drink with me to the festival?
For security reasons no hard/soft plastic containers/ESKIES will be allowed into the venue. We understand that people want to bring snacks with them, but please be advised that only clear plastic bags will be allowed on the premises. (1x plastic bag per person.) We have 13,000 + people who will be entering and want to make the job for security as easy as possible.

NO DRINK CONTAINERS / CUPS/ BOTTLES WILL BE ALLOWED.

There will be access to free water on site.

Will there be "pass outs" at the festival?
Due to licensing and security restrictions, we will NOT be giving pass outs for Breath of Life Festival unless you have purchased a VIP ticket. A cloakroom will be available at the festival to either check in items such as jumpers, jackets, hats etc. Although we are predicting a beautiful, warm day, please be prepared with everything you will need for the day and night. Merchandise will be available for purchase on the day.

Will there be someplace for me to check in my extra clothes/bags?
There is a cloakroom on site for people to check in personal belongings. Please be advised that event organisers/cloakroom personnel cannot take any responsibility for anything lost, broken or stolen from the cloakroom. It’s a busy day with literally thousands of things being checked in. Our staff have done an amazing job keeping our record flawless so far, but you might want to hold off checking in family heirlooms or your brand new camera just in case.

Will there be atms on site?
Eftpos facilities will be available (see site map for details). As this is a temporary service, it is not totally reliable throughout the day. We advise that you bring enough cash for food, drink and possibly, a festival T-shirt.

Am I allowed to bring a camera to the festival?
Yes you can, but please note that only small lens still cameras are permitted, no video cameras, professional still cameras or recording equipment. You will not gain entry to the site whilst in possession of the above and will be asked to return them to your vehicle or accommodation.

My child is only 12, is it safe for her/him to attend?
We work very closely with Police, Licensing and Security to make sure the festival is safe and secure for everyone of all ages. There will be a designated licensed area where IDs will be vigorously checked. No one under the age of 18 and/or not carrying a current photo ID will be allowed in the licensed area. Please be patient and understanding. Your safety is our priority. We want to ensure the responsible service of alcohol at all times and IDs will be checked throughout the day regardless if the person is already in the licensed area. There will also be a "chill out zone" specifically marked where festival-goers can go relax and speak to professionals who are specially trained to answer any queries or concerns.

I have a pet that I would like to bring to the festival, will he/she be allowed or will I have to smuggle them in?
We love our cuddly friends as much as everyone. However, sometimes our little friends can make people uncomfortable or become a health problem where food is around. You are more than welcome to attempt to smuggle your fuzzy friends in, but we can guarantee that you will be caught, cause a delay in the line and most likely not be very popular among other festival goers looking to get in and have fun.

THIS EVENT WILL HAVE TWO DESIGNATED SMOKING AREAS - Please respect the law, other festival patrons and USE them!
