Token info
Tokens will cost £1 each on the day and you can buy them online in advance to save money and save queuing. You can also buy them on the day – card only!

The BBQ is back! Thank you to Tesco for donating burgers! You can also bring your own food to Herne Fest.
Tokens are non-refundable.
How do I get in and collect my tokens?
Beat the queues and pre-order tokens now. The earlier you buy the cheaper it will be! Tokens will be available online until Wednesday 17 June at 9pm.
We’ll share info about token collection soon.
If you haven’t pre-paid then you can purchase tokens at the festival by card only. This will be at the Hideout Hut and it may get congested, so please be patient.
Tokens are non-refundable. If you have any left when you leave, please share with others or hand in to any stall.
How do I buy stuff?
All HAFS activities take tokens (except circus skills which is free). There are no food vans this year, so get tokens for our BBQ. The Herne students’ craft stall takes cash only.
Activities are 1-3 tokens, soft drinks are 1-2 tokens, alcoholic drinks are 3 tokens and food is 4 tokens.
More tokens can be bought from the Hideout Hut during Herne Fest.
Where can I find lost children / property?
Lost children and property will be taken to the Herne Hideout.
Can I come to Herne Fest without a grown up?
No! Sorry, all children must be supervised by an adult. Children entering alone will be stopped and asked to wait at the gate for an adult to supervise them.
Neither HAFS or Herne school can be responsible for children attending this closed event outside of school hours.
How do I get to Herne Fest? Can I park?
There is no parking onsite, except 2 disabled spaces, first come, first served. There is strictly no access to the festival via Love Lane, this is for emergency access only. Please enter via the lower gate from Hoadlands road.
Who can come to Herne Fest?
Herne Fest is for Herne pupils, recent alumni and their families and friends, and those of incoming pupils currently in year 2.
Where is the money going?
Money raised goes to the school for activities and equipment for its students. The event is coordinated by HAFS volunteers with the support of the school.
You can see where some of the profits from last year’s Herne Fest like the ship in our playground and the lovely upgraded library.
