I have read and understood the Yellow & Red Card process and will comply with these and the site rules as provided *

Agreement

NOISE AT WORK

The Festival site includes areas where high noise levels will be produced by sound systems. These levels may mean all working personnel are exposed to noise levels above the point at which protective action is required by UK law. The duty to protect staff falls on the Employer, and NOT on Festival Republic/Live Nation; however, we are partners in ensuring no-one is harmed during the event and will work with you to help you make positive steps to look after your staff.The Festival will zone trading areas as Red, Orange and Green according to the likely level of noise that may be encountered. Each trader has a legal duty to take suitable measures (i.e. providing reusable corded earplugs or other appropriate hearing protection) to protect staff from the hazardous effects of working in loud noise.

Upon successful application and siting, if your stall falls in a Red or Orange Zone (which is likely to be the case for all stalls in an entertainment arena), we will provide further information on what these measures are.

All traders will also be required to complete a Noise at Work Acknowledgement form onsite.

I understand that the Noise at Work Regulations 2005 are enforced at Wilderness *

Agreement

• Please accurately list dimensions below using METRES only. In addition to including your pitch measurements, it is essential that you upload an accurate pitch diagram or images at the bottom of this application.

Visual Guidelines

Wilderness prides itself on making sure all pitches integrate seamlessly into the festival and the natural beauty of Cornbury Park. It's about looking high quality. If you have a run of traders all looking great, you all do better. These guidelines will let you know what we're looking for.

• Structure preference is for vintage vehicles, bespoke builds using natural, hand-finished timber, fabrics and materials, canvas tents etc. Wilderness does not accept PVC tents. You must either effectively cover your PVC tent or bring a canvas alternative.

• Natural, subdued, muted colours work well.

• We are unable to consider heavily branded, corporate or trade-show, exhibition-style content of any kind.

• Please only use hand-painted signage or chalkboards etc. Wilderness does not accept PVC signs or banners.

Things To Avoid

• PVC tents, vinyl banners, clear span marquees, printed flags, PVC tents and structures.

• Feather flags.

• Large/tall, angular structures.

• Garish/neon colours, cartoons, graffiti visuals.

• Fake plastic flowers and foliage.

• LEDs or bright neon festoon (we encourage vintage style or warm white/yellow fairy lights).

• You are not permitted to hang anything from the trees around your stall. While this may look beautiful, the trees are extremely old and in some cases fragile and it is our responsibility to protect them.

POWER

We are committed to reducing energy consumption across site, so traders are not permitted to bring their own generators. Use of your own renewable power (solar and wind) is welcomed. Any small-scale plant equipment should be kept in a secure area.

The use of petrol vehicles within the licensed site is prohibited, whilst the site is open to the public. Concession facilities e.g. pumps, cooking appliances etc must not be powered by an engine where this runs on petrol. The Fire Safety Team will be checking your compliance with this on an ongoing basis.

All fuel must be used efficiently, and equipment turned off when not in use so as to not waste energy.

If you use any type of electrical appliance, we must see your PAT certification for all your equipment as part of this application.

Power bookings made after the application deadline date will be subject to a 25% surcharge.

We will contact you if your application is successful to confirm requirements and costs. Below are example costs only:

FIRE SAFETY & GAS

It is essential that all traders have appropriate in date fire extinguishers for their stalls. Food traders require 5kg Dry Powder extinguishers and fire blankets, as a minimum. You must carry out your own fire safety audit and carry sufficient in date fire extinguishers for your operation.

More extensive trader fire safety requirement information will be sent upon successful application - you must ensure you are willing and able to comply with this.

Fire safety assessments will be carried out onsite as part of pitch sign-offs, before trading can commence.

Any further extinguisher requirements advised by the Fire Safety Team must be adhered to.

Fire Safety Requirements

The Fire Safety Team will be inspecting your outlet, here is an indication of the type of extinguisher equipment they will expect to see.

If your outlet is small and only uses electricity (no gas) and you do not have any fryers then you should have a minimum of 5kg powder or CO2. Larger outlets will require larger extinguishers.

If you use gas and have only 1 fryer less than 20 litres capacity then you will need 3 litres Wet Chemical extinguisher plus 5kg Powder. More than one fryer then 6kg Wet Chemical plus 5kg Powder

For larger outlets you will need Foam plus CO2 and/or larger capacity Powder the size of which depends upon your set up.

FIRE SAFETY COMPLIANCE

These are a minimum requirement and should be considered in your Risk Assessment. Should you be found to be not in compliance then your outlet may be closed, alternatively it may be possible to purchase extinguishers from the Fire Safety Team

All extinguishers must be in serviceable condition, with yearly check (in date) clearly marked on the cylinder and easily accessible.

Please indicate below which type of extinguisher(s) you will have available. *

Foam

Gas safety assessments will be carried our onsite by the on-site fire team and/or a Gas Safe engineer as part of pitch sign-offs.
