Health and safety

You agree to this when you buy a ticket and must abide by the health and safety guidelines outlined below and follow safety information and announcements when you are at the festival.

The axes, knives and other tools are dangerous and can cause serious cuts. If used correctly the chance of accidental cuts is minimised.

When you are carving on site you are responsible for your own safety. Under 18 year olds must be supervised by a responsible adult. The Parent must take responsibility for their childs safety and this may require 100% of their attention. The parent must protect their child by ensuring the child is following our health and safety guidelines.

• Use safe knife cuts and axe holds.
• Maintain a safe distance – be aware of others around you.
• Don’t walk around with tools unsheathed.
• Store tools safely when not in use.
• Always carve when fully alert and focussed on the job.
• Do not carve after any alcohol.
• Take breaks often – walk around and stretch.
