Keep safe at festivals and concerts this summer

We believe all festival and concert goers should have a great time this summer. If you see something that doesn’t seem quite right, it is important to report it. 

We are working with Counter Terrorism Policing to encourage festival goers and live music fans to #BeSafeBeSound.

Here are some quick tips to help you have a safe and enjoyable time:

• Arrive early, allowing more time for security checks and measures
• Be patient with security checks. It might seem inconvenient, but they are in place to help you
• Keep it simple and minimise what you carry. Fewer bags to search will speed up entry
• Stay alert and look out for each other. If you see something that doesn’t feel right, tell security. Don’t leave it to someone else
• Don’t leave bags unattended. Never agree to look after a stranger’s bag, no matter how genuine they seem
• If there is an incident, listen to staff and any announcements.

In an emergency, always call 999.
