WHAT NOT TO BRING INTO THE FESTVAL

• PETS. They are not permitted at V Festival, except guide dogs for the blind and deaf.
• AIR HORNS. They are not permitted, for the sanity of those around you.
• FIREWORKS. They are illegal. Any fireworks found on entry search and thereafter will be confiscated.

• GLASS. Please only use plastic containers.
• CAMPING STOVES. They are only permitted in the campsites.
• CHINESE SYTLE LANTERNS.  They're not permitted due to the number of trees and possible dry weather.

DO NOT bring anything that could be interpreted as an offensive weapon, i.e. a multi purpose style tool that contains a knife, mallet, etc, as they will be confiscated and held at Festival Welfare.

ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES It is a condition of entry on our licence that you allow yourself and your belongings to be searched by the Police or Security. They will carry out random searches when you are entering the festival campsite and arena. Do not attempt to bring in illegal substances as you stand a very real chance of being caught.

We do not condone the use of drugs but please remember that unfamiliar surroundings and large crowds are not the place to experiment with drugs or alcohol. If you see somebody who appears to be having a bad time, please alert a Steward who will seek help. Do not assume that they need water. We have trained drug advisors on site who will help, as well as full medical facilities. Further information can be obtained from the 24 hour National Drugs Helpline on 0800 77 66 00 or visit www.talktofrank.com. Need advice on alcohol? Call 0800 917 8282.
