Before visiting the Eurovision Village

There will be a bag ban in Folkets park from May 4 to May 11 when the city of Malmö has a program and Folkets park is transformed into Eurovision Village. This is due to the fact that most of the content is considered a public event, and the bag ban applies in accordance with the police's assessment.

The bag ban applies to all types of bags regardless of size – including small bags, such as handbags, tote bags and plastic bags.

Yes – people who need to bring a bag for medical reasons and people in the company of children who need a diaper bag. Bags that are allowed must be checked by security staff at the entrances before entry. Strollers will also be allowed. Journalists who are on duty and have an official ID are also allowed to bring a bag.

The bag ban applies to all types of bags regardless of size – including small bags, such as handbags, tote bags and plastic bags. However, you can bring in wallets, small toiletry bags or other items that fit in your pocket. You are not allowed to bring in items that are larger than you can fit in your pocket.

Yes, there will be lockers available near the Eurovision Village. These lockers will be available in a limited quantity and can therefore become full quickly. You will find the lockers on Helsingborgsgatan near Friisgatan. In total there are 1000 lockers, and they are available around the clock.

The lockers are available in two sizes and cost the following:

• medium-sized lockers (20.9cm x 22.3cm x 37.9cm). Costs 59 SEK/h – 250 SEK/24-hour

• small lockers (11.5cm x 22.3cm x 37.9cm). Costs 40 SEK/h – 199 SEK/24-hour

You can book or reserve a locker in advance. Follow the links below.

Anyone who does not comply with the bag ban is committing an offense against the Public Order Act – there will be security staff on site to ensure that this safety rule is followed.

It is the Swedish police who decide on bag bans. Major events in Sweden that require a permit or must be reported to the police may be subject to terms and conditions for a bag ban.

There will be two entrances in the Eurovision Village and these are controlled entrances. There will be security staff to ensure that no one brings bags inside. To access the area where the stages are located – Tattoo stage, Euphoria stage and Dancing Queen stage – all visitors will also pass through a security screening. There will be a lot of security staff and volunteers in the park.

There will be a dog ban in Eurovision Village from May 4–11. This means that during this period you cannot walk your dog in the park at any time during the day or night. Guide dog on duty are welcome in the park.

When the park reopens as usual on May 12, your dog is more than welcome.

There will be lots of volunteers at the Eurovision sites – Eurovision Village, Malmö Live and Malmö Arena. They can be recognized by the way they dress – they will wear a light-coloured t-shirt, sweater and yellow jacket with "volunteer" written on the front and back. A volunteer can help you with information such as where the toilets are, where different artists will be playing and how best to get around in the city.
