Homelands: foot & mouth statement

"The particular location of the car parks and event fields that are used for the festival have not had cattle or animals on for over 5 months. The festival has separate entrances directly off a major road - the A31 - which is exceptionally unlikely to be closed because of that. There have been no cases of foot and mouth reported in the near vicinity and the farmer himself has a quiet confidence that his actions and the Government actions will result in the festival taking place".
