What happens if a child gets lost?
The welfare of children is paramount at A Country Affair. If your child is lost please tell the first member of staff you see. Our security personnel carry radios and will alert gate staff and arrange for an announcement to be made over the Public Address system.

Please remember that show sites are busy places. Parents are advised to point out a meeting place to their children when they arrive. It is useful to make a mental note of what your child is wearing so that you can give a good description should your child become lost.
