NO FIRES. Sorry, no braai's. Gas cookers and Skottles are welcome.

WASTE. Eco-conscious waste management is one of RTD's main priorities and it is our mission to host a clean, green festival but there are a couple of things you can do to respect the environment while enjoying your weekend with us:
Leave no trace: If you pack it in, pack it out. In fact, help out the environment and take any waste you find, whether it's yours or not, with you. Cloof Wine Estate works very hard at contributing to the natural growth of indigenous fauna and flora, so please be mindful of this.
SPECIAL NEEDS FACILITIES. All Special Needs customers are welcome at Rocking the Daisies, and while we aim to improve special needs facilities at the festival, it is a still a green field site and subject to weather. Disabled Toilets are available in your camping area and the main festival site. Special Needs Parking and Camping: There is designated parking near the main festival entrance. Just follow the signs in the general parking area. We have a specific area allocated, as close to the wheelchair friendly Arena Entrance as possible. ?
SAFETY & SECURITY
EMERGENCY SERVICES: Paramedics will be on hand to deal with any medical emergencies throughout the weekend. They will be located in the campsites and festival arena.
LOST PROPERTY: You can collect lost property from the VOC (Venue Operations Centre) located at the back of the Main Stage Arena or ask at the Information Stand. Please report any thefts to the security officials on duty right away.
PLEASE NOTE: BRINGING VALUABLES INTO THE FESTIVAL IS NOT ADVISED.
Unfortunately there are unsavoury elements that operate in these environments that sometimes are beyond security's control. Should you decide to bring valuables along with you, please be vigilant and responsible with your belongings. We ask all festival-goers to bring combination locks for tents as a further precaution.
