All Points East is a cashless festival. All bars, food traders and concessions accept Chip & PIN payment as well as contactless payment (up to £100) and this is the quickest and most efficient way of paying.

Please note that there will be no ATMs onsite.

If you need Information, or any help with Customer Service, Welfare, First Aid or Accessibility, please head to the First Aid & Welfare tent near the Main Entrance.

Welfare and First Aid provisions are operated by our trained and experienced staff. Services are open during event hours and all visits are logged and recorded.

Everyone should feel safe at All Points East, and we actively work to create a welcoming and fun space for all.

If at any point you are a victim of such behaviour or feel unsafe or uncomfortable, we encourage you to report it to any member of staff who will be able to assist you in seeking the help you require. Alternatively, you can visit our specially trained and caring staff based at the Welfare Tent on site, who will listen to any concerns or issues with discretion and confidentiality.

Ask For Angela

The Ask for Angela initiative is in place across the event site. If you feel unsafe, vulnerable or threatened you can discreetly seek help by approaching festival staff and asking them for ‘Angela’. This code-phrase will indicate to staff that you require help with your situation and a trained member of staff will then look to support and assist you.
