How do festivals prepare?
Large outdoor events like Creamfields and Reading need robust plans for changeable weather. This includes ensuring adequate shelter, managing ground conditions to prevent mud, and having emergency procedures for severe weather like thunderstorms. Organisers work closely with local authorities and forecasters, like the Met Office, to keep attendees safe and minimise disruption.
