Safeguarding Notice
The festival is a family-friendly event but we would politely ask you to be aware that our Media associates will be present throughout the day and will be taking photographs which will be widely shared on the internet and on social media. If you attend, there is every possibility that you could be included in a photo somewhere as our photographers take crowd shots and many of the bands will also take photos from the stage. In fact... even people who are attending as customers are likely to take photos and may accidentally snap you in the background! Local newspaper representatives will also be present and any photos which they take will appear in print and online.
As organisers, we cannot control who is taking photos at a particular time, but if you do see a photo of yourself or your family online following the event, you MUST make direct contact with the photographer and discuss your concerns with them. Anyone who has an official Glaston-Bury media pass will be made aware that they are obliged to discuss your concerns.
