We’re as excited as you are for summer to be back on the table – and we can’t wait to see you at Spike Island on 24th July. We’re working together with Halton Borough Council, Public Health England and all necessary agencies to ensure that the event is held safely.

As Boris has announced, proof of a negative test or vaccine status will not be required to gain entry to the festival, however – we do encourage you to test at home prior to the event and to go and get your vaccine if you’ve not already done so. You can order home testing kits from gov.uk. For those that use the NHS COVID-19 app, there will be QR codes available to check-in to the event, if you want to.

When you arrive at the site, you can take advantage of our ‘Fast Track’ entry lane, if you show us your NHS COVID Pass (contained in the NHS app).

We’d encourage you to bring a face mask, and use this when queueing on entry, at the bars or toilets. We’ll also have hand sanitiser stations around the site for you to use, and areas that you are able to socially distance if you want to.

Help us to help keep you safe.

It is likely that you bought your ticket directly from this website. If you did you were re-directed to Ticketline. Please search in your emails for Ticketline and you should find the tickets that will be valid for 24th July. Alternatively you may have bought from Ticketweb. If you are still struggling to find your tickets we’d suggest that you contact either Ticketline or Ticketweb customer services.

You'll get access to:

• Luxury toilets with mirrors and hand wash basins so that you can freshen up in style
• Exclusive artist performances for VIP only
• Segregated area of the festival
• Exclusive Bar inside luxury marquee
• Chill out area with plenty of seats
• Extra Catering
• VIP wristband lets you go in and out the VIP area as you please

Unfortunately not. We operate a no re-admission policy. Once you leave the event after you have entered you can NOT re-enter. Entry can only be gained with a ticket that is fully intact of its stub and photo ID.

Yes. We want you all to have a safe, enjoyable day and we will therefore request each person to be voluntarily searched for any prohibited articles. We reserve the right to refuse any person entry to the event who does not agree to be searched.

We can accept your ticket on your phone at the gate… however, if you’ve purchased multiple tickets for friends etc, and they are all on one PDF… we find it is easier to print these off or take screenshots and share them with your friends so you’ve all got one ticket each to show on your phone.

Scrolling through the tickets at the gate slows down your entry.

No person is allowed to bring their own food or drink to NRTHN Love. However the food and drink on offer from the festival's traders inside the main arena is diverse and of the highest quality. There should be something on offer for everyone.

'Challenge 25' basically means if you look under 25 please you will be asked to prove you are at least 18 years old or more. Please do not be offended if we ask you for proof of age upon entry to the event, or when you buy alcohol. A legitimate form of identification must be produced to prove your age. Anyone failing to prove their age may be refused service and requested to leave the event.
