DRONE POLICY

This policy is designed to keep everyone safe at Heighington Christmas market. 

Please read it carefully.

1. No Drones at the Market

Unless you have written permission from the event organisers, you cannot fly a drone at Heighington Christmas market. This includes flying a drone over the market, its parking areas, or the surrounding streets during the event.

2. Flying with Permission

• Safety: Drones can be a hazard to people and property. We want to prevent any accidents.

• Privacy: We want to respect the privacy of everyone attending and working at the market.

• Enjoyment: We want everyone to enjoy a peaceful, festive atmosphere without the noise and distraction of drones.

4. What Happens if You Don't Follow the Rules

• If you fly a drone without permission, you will be asked to stop immediately and requested to leave the event. 

• We will also report the incident to the police and/or the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
