Lord Bracknell
On fire
There are RULES that you'll need to OBEY. LOTS of them.
Safety and security
When you get to Wembley Stadium, you’ll be asked to go through security checks. With so much going on and thousands of people arriving at the same time, you should expect to wait.
We strongly suggest you do not bring a bag – if you do, your entry will be delayed and you may miss your event. Please note that large bags (over 25 litres) are prohibited. There are no storage facilities available.
Before you go through security, you’ll need to empty your pockets and place your belongings, such as keys and mobile phones, into a provided A4 sized plastic bag.
Due to Wembley's ground regulations and London 2012 venue regulations, there are some things that you can’t bring into the venue.
Wembley Stadium – Prohibited and restricted items
Prohibited items are things you cannot bring into London 2012 venues – you won’t be allowed to enter venues if you’re carrying any of these items when you arrive. If you’re carrying an item that is illegal under UK law, or could be used in illegal activities, this will be escalated to the police. There are no storage facilities available and if you surrender an item, you won’t be able to get it back.
Items that are prohibited from Wembley are:
Please note: the below list is not exhaustive. Venue staff may confiscate any articles that in their opinion could potentially be used as a weapon or missile and/or compromise public safety, cause a nuisance or disturbance to spectators or staff or that may be a hazard of any kind or that may be offensive or abusive.
− All types of knives and bladed items (including pocket knives and knives carried as part of cultural dress) or any other weapons (including improvised weapons) or implements such as extendable batons, sharpened combs, modified belt buckles and loose blades modified into weapons.
− Firearms, ammunition and explosive devices (including replicas, component parts or any device suspected to be a firearm or part of a firearm) or anything resembling these items (including toys).
− Personal protection sprays such as CS or pepper sprays.
− Fireworks, explosives, flares and smoke canisters.
− Laser pointers and strobe lights
− Hazardous and toxic materials.
− Glass bottles, glass vessels, cans, flasks.
− Liquids, aerosols and gels in quantities greater than 100ml.

− Tents, placards, spray paint, large industrial style “permanent“ marker pens or any other item which could be used to demonstrate within the venue or sabotage property.
− More than one soft-sided bag of 25 litre capacity or less (you must be able to fit your bag under your seat). We strongly suggest you do not bring a bag – if you do, your entry will be delayed and you may miss your event.
− Walkie-talkies, phone jammers and radio scanners.
− Personal/private wireless access points and 3G hubs (smart devices such as Android phones, iPhones and tablets are permitted but must not be used as wireless access points to connect multiple devices).

− professional-style cameras (any camera with interchangeable lenses) or recording/transmitting devices.
− prams / push chairs
− unauthorised charity collection utensils
− Large or non collapsible umbrellas
− hampers and cold boxes
In addition, there are restrictions on the use of some items inside venues. Check with staff if you’re unsure about using an item inside venues, as some items may disrupt competition, obstruct the view of other spectators or create a safety hazard.
Items that are restricted in London 2012 venues are:
− Oversized hats
− Excessive amounts of food
− Flags of countries not participating in the games (this excludes the flags of nations under the umbrella of a participating country such as England, Scotland and Wales)
Exemptions:
You are allowed up to 10 containers of up to 100ml capacity each, giving a combined maximum
capacity of one litre. Part-filled containers with a capacity greater than 100ml (excluding sun cream)
are not allowed. You may bring up to 200ml of sun cream, but it must be in its original packaging and in a container with a maximum capacity of 200ml.
Essential medications must not exceed a combined total of 1 litre, and we recommend you bring
a prescription or letter from your doctor to accompany these.
If you have a plastic water bottle with you, please ensure it is empty before you reach security as there are no facilities to empty bottles at the turnstiles. Free drinking water is available inside the venue.
You cannot bring alcohol into London 2012 venues. Alcohol is available to purchase inside most
venues.
You will get through security more quickly if you keep all your liquids, aerosols and gels in a separate toiletry or plastic bag. There is no need to remove the bag containing your liquids from your main bag, unless specifically asked.
Baby food, baby milk and sterilised water are allowed into venues but must be carried in containers with a maximum capacity of 1 litre per baby. You may be asked to verify baby food by tasting it. Examples include:
− Soya milk for babies
− Sterilised water for the baby
− Formula, breast milk or cow milk specifically for babies
− Baby food of various consistencies
Enjoy your day!
