You can pick up blank wristbands from the ticket gate, where you can write your phone number so we can contact you if you are separated from your child or vulnerable adult.
It’s a massive help for us if you take your recycling home with you. Firstly, there are certain items which you may be able to recycle locally that we’re unable to recycle.
