Children under the age of 16 (including babies and toddlers) are NOT permitted in the hall at any time during build-up or breakdown. The hall is a building site and can be hazardous during these times. This is a requirement of the Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and also applies to exhibitors’ children.
This ruling is in place to protect children’s safety and no exceptions can be made to this. Nor are they to be left in vehicles in the surrounding areas.
