Keeping Beggars Fair safe for everyone
Beggars Fair is a free community festival enjoyed by thousands of people across Romsey each year. While you’re out enjoying the music, food and atmosphere, we ask everyone to help us keep the event safe.
If you see something that doesn’t feel right, please tell someone. Our security teams are positioned across festival venues and stages throughout the town, and our volunteers, programme sellers and road marshals are also on hand to help if you have any concerns. Most importantly, trust your instincts. If something seems unusual or suspicious, report it – you won’t be wasting anyone’s time. Let’s all play our part in making Beggars Fair a safe, welcoming and enjoyable day for everyone.
