The following information is taken from Government Guidance for Performing Arts during the C-19 Pandemic. As of 18/07/20.

 

The Road to Ruin Festival Organisers (R2R) will adhere to the guidance and implement safe practice to ensure the health and safety of all attendees, performers, entertainers, food and drink purveyors, traders, marshals, backstage staff and support teams.

 

R2R will Conduct a specific risk assessment for the venue and the proposed activities to identify:
 

• The likely numbers of people that will be at the venue - this will be determined through e-ticket information and enforcing cut-off date of ticket sales.
 

• The number of people that can reasonably follow social distancing within the venue, taking into account total space, equipment as well as likely constraints (loos and washrooms) and pinch points.
 

• Which activities can be undertaken (such as Jugger/Combat Battles and photo-sessions) and which spaces can be used with specific measures to ensure social distancing and maintain cleaning.

 

R2R will endeavour to maintain social distancing wherever possible, on arrival and departure through the use of markings and introducing one-way flow at entry and exit points.

 

R2R will schedule a comprehensive cleaning rota for all facilities throughout the whole weekend. This will include disinfecting toilets and urinals, handles and surfaces likely to be in constant contact, including stage equipment (cables/seats/microphones etc.)

 

R2R will have a dedicated centre for incident and emergencies (Infirmary) with procedures to ensure they reflect and enable the social distancing principles as far as possible.

 

Current guidance advises the use of face coverings in all enclosed areas. R2R is primarily an open-air festival, however, some areas may be under cover. Attendees will, at present, be required to wear face coverings when entering any enclosed area. If guidance is relaxed, R2R will amend this requirement to suit.

​

Infection Control.

Note that ALL ADMISSIONS to the Festival will be scanned for fever and high temperatures at the gate. Persons found exhibiting high temperatures will be prevented from entering the site. Subsequent retests showing consistently high temperatures will result in total exclusion from the festival grounds. For the safety and consideration for event attendees, ALL Staff, Entertainers, Traders, Ticket Holders, Service Contractors and any visitors must comply with this initiative.

 

R2R will have hand-washing and fresh water facilities on-site. Hand Gel will be available however, we recommend that for additional protection, attendees should carry their own individual hand gel for personal use. Every survivalists kitbag should contain wet-wipes!
