BBQ Ban in Effect ⚠️ Please Read
We’ve just received confirmation from Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service that the use of BBQs is banned on our site with immediate effect.
We appreciate that this may be disappointing, especially if you had planned to enjoy a BBQ during the event. However, with the current extreme heat and increased risk of fires, the safety of everyone attending, our local community, and our emergency services has to come first.
The UK Government has also issued a national warning asking people to limit the use of anything that could cause fires, and local authorities have specifically requested that BBQs are not used at this event.
The Government’s advice is:
“During this period of extreme heat, we are asking people to take simple steps to limit the risk of further fires. By following the safety guidance, everyone can play their part in protecting local communities and supporting our frontline services who are working around the clock to keep people safe.”
Please do not bring or use a BBQ on site. This applies to all types of BBQs
We know this isn’t ideal, and we really appreciate everyone’s understanding and cooperation. This decision has been made for safety reasons and is outside of our control.
Thank you for helping us keep the event safe for everyone. ❤️
