LATERAL FLOW TESTING

IN A NUTSHELL

  • In accordance with recommendations from local authorities and in order to keep everyone as safe as possible, we require everybody over 11 years of age coming onto the Shambino site (including audience, artists, vendors, volunteers and crew) to take a Covid-19 rapid lateral flow test (LFT) up to 48 hours before you arrive on site.
  • Upon arrival at Shambnino, everybody (unless they are under 11 years old) will need to show proof of a negative test result to gain entry, whether fully vaccinated or otherwise. 

“WHERE DO I GET AN LFT & HOW DO I SHOW MY RESULT?”

As a ticket buyer, you are responsible for sourcing your own Lateral Flow Test kits – but don’t worry, they are free and super easy to get hold of. You can order free packs of rapid lateral flow tests to be sent to your home from the  Gov.uk website here or pick up a free box from one of thousands of pharmacies – you can  find a pharmacy here

Once you’ve taken your test and have your result, you must submit the result to NHS online here.

You will then receive a text and an email confirmation of the result. Either the text or email may be shown at the gates, to gain entry. Please note that the name on your text/email MUST match the name on your Shambino person ticket – remember, you can log in to The Ticket Sellers here to make sure all the names on your tickets are correct.

Please do not bring the actual test kit to site as it is clinical waste.

“WHAT IF I TEST POSITIVE?”

  • Should you test positive, you (and potentially your group – dependent on whether you live together/have been in close contact) will be required to follow guidance, isolate and not attend the event.
  • Provided you take the test in advance and notify us by midnight the day before the event opens, full refunds will be given.
