There are some key points below to help make the Riverside Festival a safe environment for everyone where you can party without worrying about being verbally or physically harassed. Everyone deserves respect and Riverside also support upholding the law when it comes to the terms of their licence.
Riverside Festival is an inclusive, fun and safe environment, where tolerance and freedom of expression are of paramount importance.
They will not tolerate abuse of any kind, whether it's towards our fellow ravers, members of staff, or performers. They operate a zero tolerance policy towards racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and all forms of discrimination.
If anyone is subjected to anti-social behaviour, then please make this known to a member of security who will discreetly handle the situation.
Everyone should feel safe in this environment and everyone should feel like the Riverside Festival is the place for them to go - anyone who harbours intolerance views, this is not the place for you.
Riverside Festival operates a zero tolerance policy to drugs. Anyone found with illegal drugs, including ‘Legal Highs' will be banned from the event and reported to the police. They will have drug disposal bins in the queues so you can deposit any drugs you may have with you.
