There are no current Covid-specific government restrictions in place, however caution is still advisable.
In order to provide a safe and welcoming environment to authors, audience, volunteers and staff at this year’s festival, Wigtown Festival Company will ensure the following steps are in place during the 2022 festival.
- Hand sanitiser stations will be placed at the entrance of each venue and will be regularly topped up.
- Where necessary, windows and doors will be opened between events to ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
- Masks will be available at each venue for the general public, staff and volunteers to make use of.
- We advise that anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 or who has been in contact with someone with COVID-19 tests before coming to an event.
- Audience members can approach staff or volunteers at any time with questions concerning these measures.
- The public will be advised - through signage and volunteer stewards - of the above recommendations.
