Photo policy

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

We are ever grateful to everyone who has documented and shared 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 and video policy.

  • Filming and photography happen throughout the day and the evening event, by freelance and vocational photographers, by press, by supporters, and by other participants.
  • If you are attending only to photograph or film, you still need to register to receive the starting location, route, and other relevant information.
  • You are not obliged to attend as a zombie, but it is encouraged.

Please include this text when you post

Join the zombies in fundraising for The Dead Good Club, committed to fighting brain rot. A not-for-profit helping people build healthier digital habits. To donate go to: worldzombieday.co.uk/donate.

And please tag anything you post with #WZD2026 and #WorldZombieDay.

Rules of engagement

1. Safety and consent

  • Respect a zombie’s wishes if they do not want to be photographed or filmed.
  • Do not intentionally obstruct anyone’s path, shop entrances, streets, or traffic.
  • Respect the schedule.

Important: do not hold up the walk for photo shoots or take participants aside. We have agreed timings with the city and disruption has knock-on effects. There are times set aside in the day where we pause for photos, so please help us stick to the schedule.

2. No unauthorised commercial sales

  • Photographers may not sell photos directly to event participants.
  • Distributing speculative (spec), proof, or access cards for personal financial gain is strictly prohibited.
  • Soliciting money, tips, or digital payments from guests for photos is also prohibited.

3. Focus on the cause

  • All photographs taken at this event must support the cause we’re fundraising for.
  • Images should be used to promote the cause, thank donors, or share the event’s success.
