Press badges and photography
Media are welcome, and a press badge gives access to the media zones. To request one, email us with your outlet and the names of your team. We confirm by reply, and badges are collected at the registration desk. Children are welcome: under 13s attend with a guardian and under 18s need guardian consent, so please ask a parent or guardian before photographing, filming or interviewing a child, and before publishing a child's name.
