Security of your Personal Belongings on the Campsite

Unfortunately, Upton Folk Festival has not been immune to the thefts from campers which have affected many festivals. The organisers will be working with the local police and our campsite attendants to combat this but the solution is also in your hands.

DO NOT leave valuables in your tent or unsecured caravan even if you are asleep in it.

DO lock your instruments, wallets, phones etc out of sight in your car, especially overnight.

DO report any suspicious activity to a member of the committee, a campsite steward or the Police on 101 or 999 for emergencies.

DO NOT confront any suspicious person.

Please be aware of the possibility of these thefts.

There appear to be two patterns of thefts: the first is of instruments occurring at any time during the weekend; the second is of cash and mobile phones (especially from tents) which seem to occur during the first night.

PLEASE  turn off your interior lights when unloading camping gear. It will save you having a flat battery when you come to leave. We have had several occasions every year of this happening.
