Noise levels

 

We are working with the BBC and SJM Concerts to make sure noise levels, during the sound checks and the event, are acceptable and comply with the Code of Practice of Environmental Noise Control at Concerts. 

 

SJM Concerts is an experienced events company and managed last year’s Big Weekend in Preston, which was also in a public park. 

 

Sound checks will take place on:

 

Wednesday 7 May - 5-6pm

Thursday 8 May - 4-7pm

Friday 9 May - 4.30–7.30pm

 

There will be no amplified noise after 11pm on 10 and 11 May.

 

Our environmental health officers will be on site over the weekend, carrying out regular sound checks to make sure noise is kept to an acceptable level.
