Photo Policy

We love seeing all the wonderful images of you bloody creative zombies after the big day!

We are ever grateful to all those who have documented and shared with us their highlights from World Zombie Day: London. Keep them coming this year!

All are welcome to photograph or film on the day.

Here are some things you should know about our photo/video policy:

Filming and photography will occur throughout the day by both freelance/vocational photographers, press, and our sponsors.

Those attending only to photograph or video the event will still need to register to receive information on the starting location, route, and other relevant information.

You are not obliged to attend as a zombie, but it is encouraged.

We do ask that anyone posting photos, videos, social posts, etc. includes the following text:

“The purpose of World Zombie Day is to raise money for charity. Join the zombies in fundraising for Hopefield Animal Sanctuary, a remarkable charity committed to caring for in-need animals. To donate go to: paa.ge/worldzombieday“

Please do tag anything you post with #WZD2025 #WZDResurrected #WorldZombieDay

Safety

If you are taking photographs and/or filming, please respect a zombie’s desire if they do not wish to partake, and do not obstruct anyone’s path intentionally.

We strongly discourage anyone from making money off the back of photos they produce from this event.

We also strongly discourage distributing cards, flyers, and promotional materials. Because this is a charity event – Hopefield Animal Sanctuary is the only body that should be receiving money raised from World Zombie Day: London.

All those who participate in this event may be filmed and/or photographed and give consent for any of the filmed footage, or other likeness, picture, photograph, portrait or moving image (in whole or in part), to be used and/or published/broadcasted for marketing, social media, and public relations purposes without further limitation and in perpetuity.

Members of the press, please contact info@worldzombieday.co.uk with any inquiries.
