However, you’re not allowed to bring items such as beverages, food, picnic baskets, animals, and professional photography and videography equipment.
“Please note that this year the festival will not include a Kids Zone, so while families are more than welcome to come and enjoy the delicious experience, it also offers the ideal opportunity to plan that long-overdue date night while you catch your favourite musicians in action,” DStv explains.
