Venue, Food & Hospitality
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to The Mount. Here’s our guide to the venue.
Food Glade & Bars
Ignite your taste buds at our beautiful woodland Food Glade! We partner with Kerb, who bring to The Mount a carefully curated menu of delicious street food from hand-picked small independent businesses. There’ll be tantalising dishes from the UK’s best street food talent including vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free options, along with sweet treats & gelato. Not only is ‘brilliant food only’ at Kerb’s core, so is sustainability, minimising environmental footprint & cultivating diversity in its community of talented traders.
We also have a choice of bars within the amphitheatre serving a lip-smackingly good array of drinks to enjoy in beautiful surroundings.
Please note that food & drink offerings may vary concert to concert.
Hospitality
Enjoy a warm Wasing welcome, great views of The Mount and a vibrant food & drinks menu before & during the concert.
Hospitality tickets include access to Hilltop, a limited capacity space with spectacular views of the amphitheatre, bespoke bar and food offerings, dedicated loos, bar and hospitality lane fast track access.
As a Hospitality ticketholder you are also welcome to enjoy all areas of The Mount and can choose whether to stay at Hilltop or enjoy access to an exclusive side-of-stage viewing area or find a viewpoint of your choice to enjoy the show.
Please note that food & drinks is not included within hospitality tickets.
Woodland Trail
The woodland trail is a chance to leave everyday reality at the entrance and a unique arrival into a mindful space; present & in the moment for a powerful connection with music, people & planet.
Follow the winding paths, that take approximately 10 minutes to amble along, through Wasing’s beautiful woodland to The Mount. You may encounter upon smudging; an ancient practise of burning sage to heal the mind, heart and body and you’ll have the opportunity to contemplate at one of our sacred spaces, lovingly decorated with restorative sculptures.
Fire
Fire serves as a central and focal element at The Mount infusing our concerts warmth, creativity and anchoring the energy we offer back to the land. Our firekeepers work ceremonially with the fire & all of us gathering around the fires in this way is deeply regulating for the nervous system. It fosters a sense of community, connection with land and true nature. It’s a chance to disconnect with tech and allow the crackle of fire to soothe the human spirit
