Outside of the meals that your ticket includes, you have the option to buy food (limited menu) from the kitchen. The property has an ayurvedic massage centre. You can treat yourself to a nice massage session (at your own cost, payable directly to the venue). The festival will have a few stalls that sell clothing and art. You can buy these items directly from the artists.

Please bring cash for all of the above - gpay/internet banking does not work at the property.

No. We are not licensed to sell alcohol at the festival. Please bring your own alcohol (& mixers) if you wish to drink. The nearest liquor store to the property is 32kms away. We will not be able to arrange transportation to the liquor store. Please bring your own booze if you chose to drink. We encourage you to drink in moderation. The festival is held in a property that skirts along a forest reserve. Unruly behaviour after intoxication will not be tolerated. We all have to be respectful of the space.

No. The ticket price includes a spot in an individual or shared tent. Tents will come with a mat and a sleeping bag. Feel free to bring your own bedsheet, blanket and pillows.

Shared tents will be allocated based on a system that will correspond with your ticket number. If you wish to swap later to be closer to your friends or share with your friends, you can do so at your own will.

Yes. If you chose to stay in a cottage, they will have their own toilet/bathrooms. If you are camping, there will be a total of 8 gender neutral toilets/bathrooms for you to use. Not all bathrooms have access to hot water. If you are particular about hot water, you can use the three bathrooms closer to the reception area.

There will be mobile coverage near the reception and kitchen area. Mobile coverage is pretty slim in the camping area. You can go to the reception area if you need to make an urgent phone call or check on loved ones back home. We encourage a digital detox while at the festival.

If you are camping, you will have access to limited charging docks at the reception area. Please bring your own power bank so that you dont have to rely on these limited charging stations.

With it being a festival setting, it will be impossible for us to ensure that you don't get photographed. If your photograph is posted on ŪRU Festival instagram page and you are not comfortable with it, please let the ŪRU team know and we will be more than happy to take it down.

ŪRU is all about providing a safe space for the queer community. It is a space that encourages and celebrates diversity. You'll be able to express yourself freely without fear of any judgements. It is a space for the queer community and allies. Not everyone at the festival will be queer. Not everyone at the festival will be straight. We all have a responsibility to be respectful to one another. We have to understand and respect boundaries. Let's live and let live.
