In relation to this the security at Leeds Festival is strict and anyone showing suspicious behavior could risk being ejected from the festival by the security staff. If you see someone onsite acting suspiciously, please report this to security or the licensing office.
Festival Republic has sent out the following guidance when noticing a potential suspicious item.
'Check HOT:
Is it deliberately Hidden from view?
Does it have something Obvious, like protruding wires that makes it suspicious?
Is it Typical of what you would find there?
If you are still concerned, inform security immediately and do not use a phone or radio within 15m of it.'
Please be aware, you may be bag and body searched at the entrance to the festival or whilst onsite. Random searching of vehicles and belongings will be carried out. Please label all of your bags and belongings with your name, company (Sheffield Hallam University) and your mobile number.
