Fires

Open fires and candle flares are strictly forbidden for safety reasons. You may use gas or charcoal burning BBQs that are raised of the ground - but not disposable BBQs - they are an extreme fire risk.

Candles are dangerous and useless in a field; use torches in and around tents.

If you cook, do it outside

Always change camping gas outside tents – even if it is raining.

When changing gas cylinders, ensure gas tap is in the ‘off’ position, otherwise the gas will ignite when the cylinder is pierced and you could get badly burned.

Should you discover a fire, raise the alarm, check out people nearby are OK, and tell your nearest campsite warden about the problem.  Immediately!

The legislation about not smoking inside in public places applies in tented venues on site - just as much as it does in your favourite club. You will help our fire stewards by keeping to the law!
