PHOTOGRAPHY

In order to comply with regulations it is necessary for us to inform participants and spectators that photography and video of children’s groups is restricted to parents and accredited group leaders. They may only photograph or video groups in which their own children are participating. Group leaders are asked to provide a stick-on or tie-on label which will enable the Festival organisers to identify approved photographers. With respect to child protection all participants and spectators are also asked to report anything suspicious immediately.
