LEEDS Festival goers are being encouraged to download an app which helps them if they were to lose their phone.

Liff Happens is working in partnership with Festival Angels, who run the Lost Property tent, to encourage people to register their phones before they arrive on the festival site.

The 2022 Leeds Festival saw 2,568 people register their phones. A total of 390 of these were lost and successfully reunited with the owner - a 89 per cent return rate.

Jo Lynch, the coordinator of Festival Angels Lost Property, said: "By registering a phone and giving details of a friend, who is also at the festival, means that if your phone is lost and finds its way to our Lost Property tent we can easily reunite phone and owner."

Festival goers are encouraged to register via leedsfestivalangels.org.uk/lost and Festival Angels volunteers will also be encouraging festival goers to scan a QR code as they travel into the festival. 

More than 200 Festival Angels volunteers will be on hand throughout the event, helping people navigate the site, put up tents and stay safe, and, over the course of the long weekend, will serve at least 50,000 hot drinks through a £7 unlimited refills mug deal.
