🐕 Keep dogs on leads at all times and clean up after them.

🛡️ LICENSING, SECURITY & SAFEGUARDING
The festival operates with the required permissions and licensing arrangements through Preston City Council.
Our event planning includes risk assessments, security arrangements, emergency procedures, safeguarding measures and plans for managing incidents throughout the event.
Our safety and security planning also takes account of the principles and published guidance associated with the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, commonly known as Martyn’s Law, alongside relevant safeguarding, licensing and health and safety requirements.
Our licensed security team (Elevate Protection Services), Festival Management and event personnel will work together throughout the day to help protect festival visitors, performers, traders, staff and the wider community.
Please report any immediate safety, security or safeguarding concerns to a member of security or Festival Management.
🌿 OUR COMMITMENT TO THE PARKS
Our team will carry out litter picks throughout the festival, followed by a full site clean after the event has finished.
We are committed to leaving Avenham & Miller Parks clean, tidy and restored to their natural beauty before we leave.

Leave no trace. Take nothing but memories. 💚
