\n6. GATE SEARCHES AND PROHIBITED ITEMS<\/strong>
\n1.\tLoopfest runs a rigorous search operation at the gates, and you should expect to be searched on entry. This may include clothing\/bag searches at the gates, onsite or when leaving. Please note that intimate body searches can only be carried out by the police.
\n2.\tLoopfest has a No Drugs Policy regarding the possession, use or sale of illegal drugs. This includes Nitrous Oxide and all other products banned under the New Psychoactive Substances Act 2016.
\n3.\tCBD – In order for the security staff at the gates to determine whether a bottle of oil is CBD, and therefore legal, we require for the bottle to be sealed (and never to have been previously opened), and a commercially labelled product that clearly displays the CBD and THC content information. At the entry gates, if the product has been previously opened, fails to display the content information, or is suspected by the search staff of being any substance other than CBD, security staff may treat it as a contraband item, and confiscate it. Within the festival site, security will be looking at the content information to determine legality.
\n4.\tOur policy on CBD reflects the current national approach, however, it is important to note that Government departments are currently reviewing these products, and if there is any change in the regulations, Loopfest’s position will by necessity change accordingly. Any such changes will be communicated via our T&Cs and on our website, so if you plan to bring CBD to the festival, you are advised to check our website prior to the event for any updates.
\n5.\tPrescribed medication should be declared before entering the search and entry points. Medicine should be in its original packaging and the ticket holder must bring a copy of their prescription in their own name.

\n8.\tNo animals, other than assistance dogs, are permitted on site. Assistance dogs must be declared in advance to the access team who, once approved, will provide an authorisation letter to be shown on the search and entry points.
\n9.\tThis list is not exhaustive, Loofest reserves the right to confiscate any potentially harmful items or substances at our discretion.

Please check your vehicle before packing and remove any items that can present a safety or security risk.
