PLANNED MEASURES

We’ll continue to plan with the measures below in place, even if government guidelines advise all social restrictions can be lifted: 

-    Controlled capacity: the organisers have carefully calculated the available space across the site and set a capacity limit which offers our visitors lots of circulation space and will reduce the build-up of crowds and pinch points. 

-    Timed sessions: the festival programme has been planned in ticketed timed sessions - either morning, afternoon or evening. We’ve left time in between to allow for a re-set and a deep clean of the festival site.

-    Contactless ticketing and payment: e-tickets will be sent in advance of the festival and all vendors and exhibitors will operate contactless payment systems.  

ADDITIONAL MEASURES 

Should government guidelines change, we have further measures planned that we can implement. These include: 

-    Socially distanced viewing: our stage viewing area will be divided into ‘pods’ to ensure social distancing rules are adhered to.

-    Re-designed layout: one way system around the marketplace with wider aisles and additional plus frequent signage reminding visitors of safety rules.

-    Rigorous cleaning policy: more toilets with socially distanced queuing lanes and hand wash facilities with fresh water.

Nearer the time, will publish more detail about our plans but for now, please be rest assured, that we are ahead of the game!
