Dogs

Certain Community Events are not an ideal environment for dogs due to the noise and large crowds, so we strongly suggest you do not bring them to the Firework shows. If you do please keep them on leads and remain on the outskirts of the main crowd so as not to cause a hazard to other concert goers.

Alcohol

There are licensed bars within the park selling a range of drinks. Some events like the Community Event in November will not have licensed bars and we ask that Alcohol is not brought on the site due to the event only lasting approx. 2.5 hours.
Please drink responsibly and respect your fellow concert goers. If you are suspected of being drunk or over boisterous you WILL be asked to leave by stewards.
If you intend to bring your own alcohol to the event please do so in moderation and remember to place empties in the bins provided. We are working to reduce the amount of waste and ask that you DO NOT bring glass on to the site.

Food / barbeques

You are allowed to bring your own food into the park however barbeques are prohibited for safety reasons. In addition there are a number of catering units located in the park selling hot food, ice cream and confectionary.

Seating

You are allowed to bring your own deck chairs into the park.
Please be aware that people often stand immediately in the front of the stage and this is often encouraged by the artistes who are performing. If you want to enjoy the Bands / Entertainment from the comfort of a deck chair you are recommended to set up some way back from the stage.

Carnival / Events sound quality

The Carr-Ellison Committee and its contractors strive to make year on year improvements to concert sound quality at Carr-Ellison Park. It is important to note however that a number of factors impact upon sound clarity and coverage at outdoor concerts, these include wind strength and direction.

Pop up tents

You are allowed to bring small pop up tents into the park however these must be erected in the Centre of the field area. Tents are not allowed immediately in front of the stage area as they reduce spectator view and capacity and cause obstructions for other co goers.
Please note that in the event of large crowds it may be necessary to refuse permission for tents to be erected even in the Centre of the field and spectators will be made aware of this via stewards and announcements by the compere.

Emergency situations

In the event of an emergency situation arising please listen carefully to announcements made by the event compere and follow the instructions of stewards. Please remain calm. You will either be moved to a safe area within the park away from the hazard or be directed to specific exit points in the event that the park requires evacuating.

Take extra care with personal belongings

Please take care of personal belongings, particularly mobile phones, keys and other items of value. It is easy to drop personal items of this type in large crowds so make sure they are stored securely in bags or pockets.

Litter

Please help us to keep the park tidy and place and litter in the bins provided. Waste bags can be obtained for free from the information unit within the park. We are working to reduce the amount of waste and ask that you do not bring glass on to the site.

Getting separated from friends and family

We suggest you make arrangements with your party when you arrive in the park to meet up at a certain recognised point if you get separated. This could be next to a tree, food trailer or one of the entry gates.
If you are attending with small children please remember to be vigilant and not allow them to stray. We strongly recommend that you visit the Lost Children Post when you arrive in the park and get a free wrist band for your child which you can write a contact mobile telephone number on. This will help stewards to reunite the child with you in the event you become separated.

Filming and photography

Recreational photography and filming of family and friends to capture the atmosphere of the concert is permitted, other than where other persons attending can be clearly identified as the main focus. Please therefore be respectful to other people’s privacy at all times, or you may be challenged and asked to stop and / or leave.
Photography / filming / recording for professional / commercial use is not permitted without prior written authorisation or media event accreditation from Hebburn Carr-Ellison Carnival Committee.
