If you already have an active membership of DTD then you need to bring your membership card to use at the reception desk to gain entry each day. If not a member of DTD, or you are unsure as to having an ‘active membership’, then you should ensure you bring either your passport or your driving licence as failure to turn up with either will mean you will not be allowed to enter the venue.
