Safe and Sound area
Poplar Festival is committed to being a safer and more inclusive space. In line with this promise, we have decided to set up a Safe Point within the park. It is a secure place, a quiet spot amidst the greenery and music of Doss, where you can go if needed. The Safe Point will be staffed by us, but not alone. We will be supported by trained personnel, psychological support, and Croce Bianca. The Safe Point will be a place to find calm during moments of panic, as well as practical solutions such as earplugs or some sugar.
