Event organisers are working hard to ensure festivals comply with the most up to date guidance on COVID-19 safety. Everyone attending an event in 2021 needs to play a part in keeping each other safe and minimising the risks from COVID-19. Remember Hands - Face - Space. 

Although not compulsory, in the interests of COVID-safety anyone attending events is encouraged to take a rapid lateral flow test beforehand, wear a face covering – particularly if it is crowded, wash hands regularly and social distance where possible.

Around one in three people have COVID-19 without any symptoms. A lateral flow test is designed to identify these cases and prevent anyone from spreading the virus unknowingly. For information about lateral flow tests and how to access them visit: www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/c19testing.

If you do have symptoms, please do not attend. Self-isolate straightaway and book a laboratory-processed PCR test by ringing: 119 or visiting www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test.

Vaccination is one of your most effective defences against COVID-19, find out more here.
