Security
Security cover commences 25th November and no goods will be allowed on to the site before this time.
Although every reasonable security precaution is taken through the Build Up, Open Period, and Breakdown, The Organisers cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, or accidents which may occur to any Exhibitor's (or Contractor's) property or personnel. We strongly recommend that any small or attractive items be kept under constant supervision and removed each evening. Your stand should NEVER BE LEFT UNMANNED at any time while the Halls are open.
The Organisers will not be responsible or liable for theft or injury - please see INSURANCE in this section. Exhibitors are reminded to be particularly vigilant during the following periods: the last night of build-up; the first 30 minutes after the Show closes each day and the first two hours of breakdown.
The following points should be carefully noted:
During Build-Up: Once your exhibits have been placed on your stand, it is essential that the stand be manned at all times. Though The Organisers will do all they can to minimise risk, you are advised to take precautions yourself. Exhibitors needing extra security should contact the Organisers.
During Open Hours: All Exhibitors and visitors, in the interests of their own safety and security, may be searched and their bags searched on entering or leaving the building. We ask you to co-operate and insist your staff carry badges or passes at all times.
During Breakdown: Please do not leave your stand unattended at any time during the first few hours of breakdown or until all valuable exhibits or graphics have been removed. If you propose to leave anything valuable on the stand overnight, please contact the Organisers or Security.

Single Use Plastics
​
A range of polluting single-use plastics has been banned in England. The ban will include single-use plastic plates, trays, bowls, cutlery, balloon sticks, and certain types of polystyrene cups and food containers. This ban was introduced from 1st October 2023 and will therefore be in place for the BBC Good Food Show Winter. We therefore wanted to remind you of this to ensure that you are mindful when planning for the Show and are using disposables that are not single use plastic.
We suggest looking at alternative materials including paper, cardboard and vegware for this.

Sustainability
We are committed to reducing the impact we have on our environment whilst continuing to provide the products, services and events which create happiness and fulfilment for our audiences. But in order to do so, we need a habitable world. Our sustainability work sits within all our values and as an events business we have joined isla, a not-for-profit organisation founded as the event industry’s response to the climate crisis. It brings together expertise from across the entire events sector, provides resources and training and has developed tools and a carbon calculator to support and deliver industry-wide standardisation and best practice on sustainable practices. Through facilitation and collaboration, education and reporting, isla drives to share knowledge, upskill the industry and track progress to affect change rapidly and meaningfully, across the events industry.
As an Exhibitor at the Good Food Show Winter, we encourage you to think about the reusable elements of your stand, as well as the material of any disposables in order to reduce your use of plastic and non-reusable materials at the Festival. We’d love for you to join us n our sustainability journey and help us to reduce our impact, one event at a time.

Storage
A limited amount of storage space will be available in halls. It will be shared between Exhibitors and should therefore not be used for items of value, unless prior arrangements have been made with the Organisers. The stores will be operated by CEVA Showfreight who will be happy to deal with your enquiries on (0) 330 587 7777. For all related costs and information, please see the relevant form in the order form section.
