WARNING: the local police force have recently taken delivery of a palm-wiping kit for drug testing (we believe that it detects cocaine and heroin, and perhaps other substances too). We're unsure as to whether it detects from bodily excretions (sweat) or from residue from handling such substances. It's been reported that they intend to test people as they queue to enter. Although anyone asked to take the test is legally allowed to refuse, they make take that as suspicion enough to subject you to a search. The police have been VERY active in previous years, arresting hundreds of people for just possession of cannabis.
