We will be capturing the weekend on photo and video. However, if you do not wish to have your image taken we will have green lanyards available for collection from Wildfires Central which tell our media team that you do not wish to be photographed or recorded.
Every under 18 on site needs to be registered, even if they are NOT going to any groups. However, registration should be done as soon as possible to guarantee access to kids and youth venues.
For Wildfires 2026 we will go by academic year 2025/2026.
Due to the continued growth of the festival and the increasing numbers in children’s groups, it’s no longer possible for us to safely accommodate movement between age categories. To ensure the best possible experience for all children while maintaining appropriate supervision, safety, and age-appropriate activities we ask that each child attends the kids’ venue assigned to their specific age group.
There will be comfy sofas and a baby changing area within the 0-2s venue and parents are welcome to breastfeed where they feel comfortable.
Yes of course! For safety, we will always do our best to make sure that aisles and exits are not blocked, but you are more than welcome to have prams with you in our Big Top meetings.
Yes, there will be a live stream of the Big Top meetings to the 0-2s venue.
When you book your child onto Wildfires you will be sent a registration form which will contain a section where you can state any additional needs that your child has. At this time, we are unable to provide 1:1 support for children with additional needs. However, we do have a team focused on supporting those with additional needs in each children and youth venue, as well as in the Big Top.
You can find out more on our accessibility page.
