When can we buy tickets? Can we buy Tickets onsite?
Tickets are onsale soon, until 7th Jan 2017 unless Sold Out prior. Get your ticket earlier rather than later, as we CAN and WILL sellout. STRICTLY NO Ticket sales will be available onsite.

Are we allowed to use the kitchen for personal items?
Unfortunately there is no permitted use of the kitchen including Fridge, Microwave, Stovetop, Oven etc.

No BYO alcohol is allowed in the workshop areas or special events/shows (renegade/circus olympics). You ARE allowed to buy alcohol from the Bar especially encouraged at Renegade! Our bar staff are all RSA trained and normal RSA standards will apply. Overtly drunk and disorderly behaviour will cause you to be kicked offsite.
