Chinese Lanterns

[chiphilla]

The Leeds site says: 'We have taken the decision to ban Chinese lanterns from Reading Festival.'

Is this likely to include Leeds and be a typo or, not include Leeds?

[XrtVra]

It includes leeds as well, they have clearly copied and pasted to save time and forgotten to change Reading to Leeds.

Only an idiot would take them to a festival anyway, yes theyre nice, but when there are 50,000 tents surrounding you, its just plain stupid to let a floating bag of fire up into the sky.

I'm pretty sure they'll be banned at Leeds.

I think they are a disaster waiting to happen. The fire could be easily spread and destroy tents and with people drinking it just adds for potential disaster.

Yes very nice to look at but I think they are just dangerous
