Safety Measures and Police Presence
To ensure public safety amidst the massive crowds, Lancashire Police have deployed extensive security measures, including high-visibility patrols, plainclothes officers, and specialized units such as the Mounted Branch.
"We are excited to be supporting another brilliant Lytham Festival and to welcome visitors to our wonderful Fylde Coast.
We have been working hard, alongside partners including Cuffe and Taylor, Fylde Council and other emergency services to ensure this event runs without issue," said Superintendent James Black, Operations Manager for the Blackpool & Fylde area.
Black shared several reminders for attendees: do not drive home after drinking, drink responsibly and look out for friends, safeguard valuables from theft, and note that criminal activity will not be tolerated with an increased police presence including plainclothes officers.
"This festival is all about joy, music, and being together and we're here to protect that. If at any point you feel unsafe, please come and find us.
