Regarding bag ban at EuroHorse 2024
The Police Authority has decided on a total ban on bags at larger events. This means that visitors are not allowed to bring any type of bag, handbag, backpack, tote bag, or sack to the Gothenburg Horse Show. EuroHorse is held concurrently with the Gothenburg Horse Show and is therefore also subject to the ban on bags at larger events. Exceptions are made for individuals who, for medical reasons, need a bag, as well as individuals with children who need a diaper bag.
However, if you as a visitor, make purchases inside the fair, bags and sacks with purchased items can be left in the cloakroom inside the exhibition area (at entrance 5) and brought into Scandinavium via the passage between the arena and the exhibition area. Please note that if you exit through any of the entrances, purchased bags/items cannot be brought back in.
Please note that the bag ban does not apply to exhibitors, staff, accredited individuals, or competition participants.
