FrogFest FAQ

A: If you are camping, the Team Deposit is €100. For those that are upgrading to the Full Chateau Packagedation, each FrogFester will pay €25 per person. All deposits are payable on arrival at the Chateau in cash.

Q: Is FrogFest a social or formal tournament?

A: FrogFest is organised formally, and professionally, but we expect social attitudes towards the tournament. All sides are competing against each other and rivalry is expected but everything should be in good humour and not taken too seriously.

Q: Does the Chateau Bar accept payment by card?

A: No, so make sure you bring enough for the whole weekend. However there is a bank in the town of Molay, so if people need get more money out of the bank, there is the opportunity to do this on the way to the Hockey Pitches.

Q: Can we bring our own alcohol?

A: No. Under no circumstances is alcohol to be taken onto the Chateau site.  All buses and bags will be checked and teams will be confiscated should this ruling be contravened in any way.

Q: Can we build our own camp fire?

A: No camp fires or home made BBQs are to be created in the FrogFest Camp Site. Any teams found to be using naked flames on the Chateau grounds will be withdrawn from the festival.
