We can’t wait to welcome our community to the XP Festival tomorrow! To ensure the day runs smoothly for our entire Crew, here are a few quick logistics:
Weather
Currently (at 7.00am Wednesday 24 June) there is an Amber warning in place by the Met Office and temperatures are expected to reach approximately 30 degrees at some points during the Festival.
As we are expecting hot weather please make sure that:
- You are appropriately attired – loose fitting lightweight, loose-fitting garments made from natural fibres like cotton or linen, which allow air to circulate and keep your body temperature regulated are recommended. Wear a hat or bring a parasol to keep you out of direct sunlight.
- You bring suncream and regularly apply this as extra protection against sun burn.
- You keep hydrated throughout the Festival – feel free to bring your own water to drink. Food drinks and ice lollies will be available on the Festival site
- You use sheltered areas on site and gazebos to avoid direct sunlight
- If you start to feel the effects of the hot weather, check in with a steward and/or access the First Aid provision on site which is clearly signed and we can ensure you cool down in an air-conditioned space, if required.
- You listen carefully and follow any Health and Safety announcements from the main stage.
Refreshments and Food
Food and drinks will be available from 4pm through Relish. Please note this is an alcohol free event.
Seating
There is no designated seating. You are welcome to bring your own portable chairs or picnic blankets so you can sit comfortably and enjoy the performances.
Parking
Parking for the festival is completely free if you use Doncaster Rovers Car Park 3. Accessible parking is available – please ask a Steward on arrival.
Support
This event is free, but we will welcome donations on the day to support future XP Live Events. Your contributions help us continue to provide authentic, creative platforms where our young people can craft beautiful work and share their stories.
See you tomorrow!
