The quiet and tranquil Old Park Farm in Margam, Neath Port Talbot will soon be packed to the brim with couples, families, groups of friends - and a whole host of musicians and entertainers. Over the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Weekend, some 40,000 people will come together for the inaugural In It Together Festival.
There's a mixture of chart-toppers and up-and-coming artists taking to the eight stages, as well as comedy and drag performances, circus activities and activities based around wellbeing and mental health. There will also be camping areas, chill-out zones, fairground rides, family zones and a wide range of food stalls and bars to enjoy.
Back in October, the first wave of performers for the festival were announced and the full line-up followed in February. There are still a few tickets available for the event and organisers have shared further information on what people can expect from the weekend - and, importantly, what they can and can't take into the festival.

How do I get there?
In It Together Festival is taking place at Old Park Farm, Water Street, Margam, Port Talbot (SA13 2TG) and is easily located by car, train or coach. Big Green Coaches are running coach services from towns and cities across South Wales, and there are still a few coach tickets available to buy here.
Alternatively, the nearest train station is Port Talbot Parkway Station, which is a short drive/taxi away from Old Park Farm. Or, if you're driving, you can park on-site if you have a "parking pass". These are £20 per vehicle and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
What am I allowed to take into the festival and what is banned from the festival?
Festivalgoers are advised that everyone will be searched on entry to the festival and management reserves the right to confiscate prohibited items. Organisers say a Challenge-25 policy will be in place so people should bring photographic ID with them if they wish to purchase alcohol.
Organisers have confirmed the following items, as well as your typical clothing/toiletry items, are allowed at the festival:
Camping stoves - organisers say: "Campers wishing to bring stoves should only bring purpose-built gas stoves with small gas bottles (2.2kg). No spare bottles are to be brought. These stoves can only be used for cooking in a designated area of the campsite, and should not be used inside individual tents. No other LPG should be on site."
Water - sealed bottles of water and soft drinks are allowed but will be checked on entry to the site, organisers say. There is no limit on the amount of soft drinks or water you can bring in to the festival. Festivalgoers are advised to bring an empty water bottle too, that can be filled at the taps around the site.
Alcohol - festivalgoers are allowed to bring in a certain amount of alcohol to their camping zone, but are not allowed to take alcohol to the main festival area. The maximum anount you can bring - per person - is: 10 cans of beer, lager or cider, or 10 premixed spirit cans (max. 250ml), or one bottle of wine decanted into a plastic bottle. Festivalgoers should note that no glass is permitted, no spirits or "hard liquor" is permitted and any alcohol over someone's allocation will be confiscated.
The following items are NOT allowed:
- Dogs or other pets/animals - pets are not permitted at this festival, apart from guide and assistance dogs
