YOUTH VOLUNTEER TICKETS POLICY
The long-standing reputations of the Woodford Folk Festival and The Planting Festival as happy and harmonious events is precious to us, and the safety and satisfaction of our loyal patrons is of paramountimportance. We want to ensure that our festivals are secure places for all ages and provide positive experiences for all who attend.
To enable us to offer a greater level of security and safety for all attending either the Woodford Folk Festival or The Planting Festival, particularly those who are under 18, we have our Youth Volunteer Ticketing Policy, Conditions of Entry and Camping Policy. In addition to complying with legislative changes, these policies will enable us to offer a greater level of security and safety for all attending the festival, particularly those who are under 18. The following youth volunteer ticketing and festival attendance conditions have been put in place to help us all to preserve the positive atmosphere that is the ‘spirit of Woodfordia’.
