Drug enforcement laws are as applicable on site as anywhere else in the country. If you deal in drugs it is likely that you will be arrested by the Police.

Experimenting with drugs can lead to adverse reactions. Drugs can kill. The crowd and the sheer size of the Festival can be very frightening and disorientating and taking drugs could spoil your enjoyment of the event.

If you do take drugs and you become ill, depressed or frightened please ask a steward/security to direct you to the Medical tent where they can help and support you.
