Due to the current period of hot weather and exceptionally dry ground conditions, the risk of fire is significantly increased.

To help protect the safety of our visitors, volunteers, exhibitors, livestock, and the surrounding environment, smoking is not permitted anywhere on the Worstead Festival site throughout the festival weekend.

We respectfully ask all attendees to comply with this request and to refrain from bringing or using any smoking materials while on site.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and will help ensure that Worstead Festival remains a safe and enjoyable event for everyone.
