General Information
AwesomeFest 2011
AwesomeFest is brand new Extreme Sports festival focusing on relaxing, chilling and good times. Think spending an entire weekend in the best skate park which you can ride any time for free, BMX and Skaters ripping it up in harmony, MotoX and Mini-Moto bikes storming the skies, Drift cars tearing round the circuit in a blaze of smoke and glory. Think the best tunes that you never hear anymore, the golden era of Hip Hop, intelligent musical and gritty Dubstep and Drum and Bass pumping out over tricked out sound systems. It’s going to be completely awesome, and we’re delighted to bring it to you. This is what all the other festivals were missing. No winners, or pressure from competition, just enjoyable fun. And that’s what matters.

If you are bringing a young child then you should on arrival write your mobile number on the wristband and affix it firmly to your child’s wrist. This should enable us to contact you should your child become separated from you.
You should also make it a priority on arrival to ensure that your children are made familiar with their surroundings, should they become separated from you they will then know where to get help. In particular make them aware of the security staff, the event office and the medical & welfare centre, located in the Central Paddock, accessible by the foot bridge.
