Can I find out what time my favourite artist is on?

Reminisce doesn’t release the times of individual artists in advance, so just get there early – that way you won’t miss a thing!

What’s the best way to get to and from Reminisce?

If you’re coming by car, there’s no parking on the site but there are spaces at the Co-op Distribution Centre off Lea Green Road (WA9 5AY/WA9 5AX).

The closest bus stops to the event are on Marshalls Cross Road. Arriva is running shuttle services to Liverpool (Brownlow Hill) between 10pm and 1am.

Lea Green train station is a few minutes’ walk away.

Is anything not allowed?

You can’t take in any kind of glass, so no perfumes, aftershave or foundation bottles, vape bottles or mirrors. You can’t wear tracksuits, novelty masks or anything that covers your eyes, or clothing that causes offence to others. Also on the banned list are aerosols, disposable BBQs, fireworks or smoke bombs, and drones.

And, here’s the biggie – you can’t bring your own alcohol onto the site. It’s always best to check the FAQs of the Reminisce website before you go so you’re not disappointed when you get there.

Can you smoke or vape on site?

It’s basic rules like everywhere else, you can smoke and vape in the open air but not inside the arenas or tents.

What about medical conditions?

If you’ve got a medical condition that means you need to bring your own food to Reminisce, or medication, then go to the ‘accessible lane’ when you arrive where staff will help, and might issue you with a medical wristband in case you need to go to the First Aid station at any point. It’s best to take a prescription or doctor’s note if your medication isn’t easily recognisable.

Is there any camping?

It’s only on one day so not for this festival. You can take a camping chair, but as larger items will be searched on entry, it might slow you down getting in. There are lots of unreserved areas on the site where you can sit, either in the park or undercover.
