POLICE have confirmed that another person has been taken to hospital after taking drugs at Kendal Calling.

A 20-year-old woman from Lancaster has been admitted to Cumberland Infirmary Hospital with adverse effects from drugs.

She is in a serious but stable condition. 

This the latest drug-related incident to have taken place at the festival, which saw the death of 18-year-old Christian Pay.

Police have reported an improvement in the three men who were admitted yesterday and two people who were hospitalised on Friday remain in hospital. 

The police are urging festival goers not to take any risks in light of recent events. 

Chief Inspector Mairi Stamper said: “Despite strong warnings being issued about the risks associated with taking drugs, there are still some people risking their health by taking substances at the event.” 

“There are numerous types of drugs that we believe may be in circulation, we have recently been advised of an orange powder / crystals. 

"However we cannot say with any certainty which drugs are causing the issues, therefore in order for people to stay safe it is important that people take notice of the safety advice that is being given and that people do not take drugs of any kind, pills or powder, at Kendal Calling."
