We love families and have lots of activities for children to enjoy. However, the festival site does get very busy and, although we strive to give as much space as we can for the walkways, at some points the marquees can get quite full. In the interests of your child, it might be easier not to take buggies into these areas at such times.

Yes, the lost child point is the on-site festival office located close to the entrance. We also have special wristbands for children which you can collect from the same place on your arrival. This will carry your mobile number which we will call in the event your child becomes lost.

All our marquees are wheelchair accessible with level access to the entrances or easy ramps to access any change in level.

As much as we like dogs, we’re afraid no dogs are allowed on the festival site except for registered Assistance Dogs which must be kept on a lead at all times.

We are happy to provide access to all registered Assistance Dogs*, as they are trained to a high standard of behaviour, especially around crowds and food. They must of course be kept on leads at all times.

There is provision for disabled parking adjacent to the festival site. It is free and very accessible, just follow the signs.

St John’s Ambulance will be present on site all weekend and can be found close to the Festival entrance.

There are a number of banks and cashpoints close by, in the town centre.

Regularly check back here and on our other social media/web pages. Listen for regular updates during the event.

We have several roles available from ticket sales to refuse management and customer support.

Please apply using this link to our online Volunteer Application Form

Or contact us via email at  mfdfvolunteers@gmail.com if you have any questions.

We welcome carers and if they wish to enter for free, the disabled person they are with will be asked to show valid proof.

Please note items such as RADAR keys or Sunflower Lanyards cannot be accepted as it is not clear that these belong to a particular individual.

There will be an official photographer (wearing a Committee Members high viz vest) who will be taking photographs during the festival.  These may be shared on social media, the Mold Food and Drink Festival website, and may be used in future marketing (i.e. posters).  If you do not wish your image to be used, please make this known on arrival, by informing the Festival Office.

The Festival Committee have completed their mandatory Security Induction from this year’s festival Health & Safety Management Team.  We endeavour to keep our visitors, our exhibitors and our volunteers safe, and additional measures have been introduced this year to ensure the Festival achieves this.

You may be searched at the entrance for any items that may be used in an illegal or offensive manner – which will be confiscated. Persons suspected of carrying out illegal and/or offensive activities onsite may also be searched and face eviction and may be reported to the authorities.

Each visitor is responsible for his/her own personal property brought into the Site.
