Food

Refreshments will be available throughout the day.

The Mill's bar will be open throughout the event serving a full range of speciality teas, barista-served coffees, and premium soft drinks. Alcoholic drinks can be served in line with licensing laws.

Free water refills will be available, so we encourage attendees to bring refillable water bottles to help us cut down on our plastic waste.

Health and safety

There will be a number of qualified First Aiders on site at all times. In the event of an emergency please alert the nearest member of Team IWD Banbury or head straight to the Box Office on the ground floor.

There are no fire alarm tests scheduled during our events. In the event of an alarm please head towards the nearest fire exit. Do not delay or take your belongings with you. Once outside please assembly to the Chamberlain Court car park and follow instructions from The Mill staff.

Photography, video and feedback

We will be capturing images during IWD Banbury. If you attend, we'll assume given permission to use any photography or video taken on the day. We reserve the right to use any event-related social media posts, quotes or feedback you might give in future material; We'll make sure we credit you wherever possible.
