The Premises License issued to Sundown Festival by South Norfolk Council has conditions attached to it relating to the reporting of Crime and to formulate a drugs policy with Norfolk Constabulary.

You will be searched at the entrance. Any items which the organisers consider may be used in an illegal or offensive manner will be confiscated. Neither anti-social nor illegal behaviour will be tolerated and participants will leave themselves liable for eviction from the event.

Surrender Bins will be provided for the event to encourage festival goers to deposit drugs or other contraband in these bins before going onto the site. These bins will be subject to appropriate security measures.

The Event Organisers will ensure a robust and effective search procedure of patrons entering the event or suspected of possessing drugs once in the event itself. If persons are found within the event to be in possession of controlled drugs they may be presented to police who will undertake appropriate investigative measures. They will then assist Security officers if necessary in evicting the persons from the event.

Where there are grounds to suspect that a person is involved in the Supply of Controlled Drugs, they will be arrested and dealt with by the police accordingly

Police are encouraging people attending the Sundown Festival to have a great time and to be reassured police patrols will be in place as a precautionary measure. Norfolk Constabulary is supporting Norfolk Showground and the event organisers by providing a police presence around the venue throughout the event. Patrol officers will be joined by specialist officers in order to provide reassurance to members of the public.

Chief Inspector Nathan Clark said: “We have taken the practical and precautionary decision to provide patrols outside the Norfolk Showground.” “Whilst Norfolk is a safe county, this additional policing is about providing visible reassurance to the public and being ready to respond to every eventuality if needed. “Security guidance will be issued by the event organisers and I would encourage the public to adhere to this advice and please be aware that you will be subject to searches. My advice to those camping is to only bring items that are essential and think about security of valuable items, particularly mobile phones. Everyone should arrive in plenty of time to allow for the extra security checks which will be in place. “Finally, this is a fantastic event and we want everyone to have an enjoyable time; however, do remain vigilant and if you have any concerns, please approach one of our officers or event stewards who will be happy to help.”
