Vodafone's battery-pack service runs throughout the festival from 5–9 August. Simply hire a pack with a £10 deposit (fully refunded when you return it), and exchange it once a day for a fully charged replacement. No hunting for outlets, no dead phones—just uninterrupted festival access.
The vibe
Boardmasters is Newquay's legendary five-day celebration of surf, skate, music, and culture. With the battery-pack scheme in place, you can focus entirely on the action: catching live sets, watching world-class athletes, and soaking up the Cornish coast vibe without worrying about your device dying. It's a small quality-of-life win that makes festival-going genuinely easier.
Getting tickets
Boardmasters tickets sell separately from the Vodafone battery service. The battery pack requires only a £10 refundable deposit—straightforward and affordable. Check the festival website for full ticketing options and wristband prices.
