Bath Festival - Terms & Conditions
In line with Government advice, please see our Covid-19 regulations for the event this year, so all those attending can enjoy a fantastic weekend of music, food and drink, confident in the knowledge that all possible measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of not only those at the event but the wider public at large.
We cannot wait to see you on the 7th and 8th of August!

To attend the event this year, all those over the age of 12 will need to demonstrate they have had a negative lateral flow test 48 hours before attending the festival.
Please note: this rule applies to each day of the festival.
Lateral flow tests are free of charge and very easy to carry out on others or yourself. They can be ordered online here – or here if you live in the Bath area, or in person from most local pharmacies. You will need to upload the result to the NHS Covid 19 app to show as proof of a negative test at the entry points to the event.
It is very important that you get tested in advance, as we will have no testing facilities on site. You will not be allowed onto the festival site without proof of a negative test, or that you’ve had two doses of the vaccine.

Alternatively, those who have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine, or have proof of immunity and have uploaded this to the NHS Covid-19 app, will be able to use this to gain entry to the event.
It's quick and easy to download the App. Further information on the NHS Covid Pass can be found here. If you are from outside England and unable to use the app, you can go online and order a certificate here.
To assist with track and trace, we will also be displaying QR code signage for you to check in at key entry points and around the site.
---
If you develop Symptoms of Covid 19, test positive or are advised via the NHS to self-isolate, please do not attend the event. If you test positive using a Lateral Flow test, please book a PCR test to verify your result.
---
To ensure your safety, we will also be introducing additional hygiene protocols within the event site – including freely available hand sanitiser points, more frequent cleaning of surfaces and touchpoints, and additional cleaning of toilets and hand washing stations in the vicinity of the toilet blocks.
We have also altered the design of the site so the movement and flows of people are greatly improved, as well as entry and egress protocols. The good news is this is an outdoor event, and it is proven that transmission is significantly reduced in outdoor settings.
---
In addition to those mitigations above, we are also putting in place stringent Covid rules for all our staff, crew and vendors on site.
---
Whilst travelling to the event, if you are on public transport or in crowded areas you can help yourself and others by wearing a mask. When queuing outside the venue, please also consider wearing a mask and give your fellow attendees plenty of space if it is possible to do so.

We’re so happy that you will be able to come and enjoy what promises to be fantastic weekend with us. Please be patient, helpful and kind to your fellow festival goers – we are all in this together!
We hope that in putting in place these mitigations, you can attend the event with full confidence and that you will be comfortable and safe. We will continue to provide updates as they occur, so please keep an eye on the Bath Festival website, as well as your emails and social media.
