​UK festivals are now offering emergency contraception services

Last month, a research project conducted by the website SpaSeekers revealed the fact that one in six young people in the UK have had a one night stand at a festival.

To help its festival-goers safeguard against unprotected sex, unwanted pregnancy and other medical concerns, Bestival, Rize and Leeds Festival have signed on to offer on-site contraception services to its festival attendees starting this summer.
