Revellers at Derbyshire's Y Not festival have had to push their cars out of six inches of sludge in order leave the event.
Erratic weather conditions created a boggy ground at the festival site in Pikehall this morning (Sunday, July 28), Derbyshire Live reports.
Woodchips were being spread by JCBs to try and make the ground less dangerous and those trapped in the sludge described staff as "amazing."
Joanne Lendrum was met with summer temperatures when she arrived on Friday but by this morning she'd had enough.
The 47-year-old engineer said: "It started to drizzle on the Friday night so we got the ponchos and the wellies on.
"But by the end of last night the main arena was basically a swamp. When we got back to the tent it really started teeming it down.
"It felt like the tent was going to fly off in the wind. We decided enough was enough."
Ms Lendrum, who was joined by her sister Mandy Fowler at the festival in Pikehall, said they could not face any more of the torrential rain that was promised by weather forecasters.
But while her sister managed to navigate their car out of the festival without getting stuck, they saw many other drivers who were not so lucky.
Ms Lendrum said: "There was six inches of mud.
"There were cars stuck everywhere and people were pushing them. The staff have been absolutely amazing.
"Sometimes it took about five minutes to get the cars out and sometimes it was just a little push that got them out."
Despite the conditions Ms Lendrum said she would definitely be returning to the festival next year.
Visitors have said the conditions are not as bad as those that forced Y Not to be axed in 2017.
A statement from the festival organisers read: "We are taking necessary steps to ensure the whole site is safe after the wet weather, with a significant amount of woodchips being laid around the site."
