Health and Safety in Marquee<br>

Please note: there will be an LBWF Health and Safety walkaround. We need to be ready for this from 10.30-11 am. Please be aware that they MAY ask if fabrics used for table coverings or display are flame retardant and tested. Either do this if you can (ecosol fireproof spray, I will have some on me as well), or just answer YES. I have already submitted our risk assessment so I too will be super aware of bags/trailing fabric etc. If you are asked by me or staff to move anything please do so to minimize risks. Please refer to links in members downloads about insurance etc. or email me, I am covered for the event. <br>

Your nearest toilet facilities will be portaloos beside the William Morris Gallery, there is also a quiet toilet at the top of the Gallery in the education rooms (shhhhhh) <br>

First Aid <br>

Electricity Supply<br>

There is no supply to the main marquee.  Extra lighting: please bring battery LED under a year old if you need this, though it is very light. <br>

Pack Down & Storage<br>

The E17 Designers marquee, along with other Arts & Crafts area in the South end of the park, will close between 6 - 7pm. Small items may be stored in the WM Gallery IF you are booked for BOTH days. I have already allocated this space for you if you have booked both days. This is possible once the Gallery is closed to public (6pm). Please pack and be at the Gallery by 6.45pm. The doors are locked so ring the doorbell. Any items left must be collected the following morning between  9 - 10am. Although every care will be made to keep this area secure, belongings are left at your own risk. <br>

No vehicles are allowed back on site until the event is closed and the park is clear of public. Before this time, you may park in the vicinity of the park (see parking details above) and carry items between the marquee and your vehicle. If you have a trolley this would be useful. Please be subtle in doing so, and aware that neighbouring roads will be busy.  Once you have finished packing away and have left your area tidy, you are then free to leave or stay and enjoy the event! <br>
