Despite all the enjoyment that can be had at festivals, it’s important to remain vigilant in order to keep yourself and others as safe as possible during the event. “As security experts, we wanted to share some useful steps that people can take when attending a festival. Firstly, it’s essential to ensure that you or your friends are never alone; always stay in pairs, at the very least. It’s also important to make sure you set out clear meeting points in case the group gets separated, so that you know where to head to meet up again. “One of the most valuable pieces of advice we can give anyone attending festivals over the summer is to trust their instincts. If you feel like you’re in a situation which could put you or your group in danger, it’s best to remove yourself, even if things turn out to be fine.”
