Security

We work closely with the local authorities to ensure the safety and security of all our visitors.

Bag checks will be in operation at this event.

To help minimise queues, we advise our visitors to bring the least amount of belongings possible. Please do not bring large items of luggage since necessary security checks of large bags, rucksacks or suitcases may hinder your progress into the show.
