Bars & Food
Lager, cider, wine, coke and mineral water will be on sale at the bar. The nice people running the bar (G & P Events and Mobile Bars) are offering you money back when you return your cup to the recycling point. See recycling for details.
You don’t have to be 18 to attend, however you must be 18 and over to purchase alcoholic drinks from the bar so remember to bring your ID with you. Underage drinking will not be tolerated so don’t do it! It will lead to instant eviction of the site.
Please drink in moderation – for advice on sensible and responsible drinking please visit www.drinkaware.co.uk.
Alcohol will dehydrate you so please pace yourself and top up through the day with soft drinks or water.
There will be a number of food outlets in the event arena selling a variety of foods and soft drinks.
Lost children/Meeting Point
If you become separated from your child, please report immediately to festival stewards. A meeting point is located at the back of the event arena. Make your children aware of this location so they know where to meet you if they get lost.
We suggest children under the age of 16 are accompanied by an adult at all times and are kept away from the crowded areas directly in front of the stage.
Disabled
There is a viewing area for disabled people at the side of the event arena. Guide Dogs for the blind and/or deaf are the only animals allowed on the Festival site. Parking for disabled blue badge holders is available at Myrtle Park Primary School, Beech Street. (Follow signs) Please note: Disabled parking spaces are limited and are available on a first come first served basis.
We offer a free carer ticket to anyone who accompanies a wheelchair user or someone who cannot attend the festival without assistance. These tickets are only available from Bradford Theatres Box Office on 01274 436000.
Pushchairs/buggies
We suggest people bringing pushchairs/buggies and/or babies/young children do not position themselves in the area directly in front of the stage due to crowd densities and the likelihood of crowd surges.
Weather
In hot weather bring drinking water in plastic bottles and don’t forget sun cream and a hat. In wet weather bring a waterproof coat and suitable footwear. Wet weather ponchos will be available to buy at the event.
Umbrellas
Umbrella’s in large crowds are anti-social and some with pointed ends are dangerous in the wrong hands. It’s far better to be prepared so if there’s a chance of rain bring a waterproof coat or buy a disposable wet weather poncho available at the event.
The Neighbours
We are very privileged to be able to use Myrtle Park and we would like to continue to do so year after year. We need your help to keep the local community happy. Please ensure you leave the site quietly. Do not leave litter in the streets. Observe the parking restrictions around the site and do not park in the resident parking areas. Apart from causing an annoyance to the residents you will be issued with a parking fine and towed away.
Litter
Be mindful of your litter! Bins are provided at food stands and on exits so please help keep Myrtle Park and the surrounding area tidy. Bring plastic bags with you to put your rubbish into and then find the nearest bin or leave it bagged up for us to collect.
Recycling
Please be conscious of our environment. Drinks from the bar are served in paper cups. Minimise the impact of litter by returning cups to the recycle point where the bar will refund you 10p per cup.
Street Hawkers
We suggest that you do not purchase from street hawkers operating outside the venue. A number of traders and merchandise stands are available inside.
