Elf and Safety?

Attended Sywell today, no problems with the arrival/departure procedures, as published, on a busy movement day.
Unfortunately the heavy hand of the CAA/Health and Safety/unthinking bureaucracy ?? has reached the presumeably irresponsible visiting aviators.
At these events half the reason for going is wandering around the aircraft parking area, admiring the varied and sometimes unusuall aircraft.
Today we were advised walking around the aircraft now not permitted, and buses provided to and from the show area.
If this is repeated at the PFA Rally I can see a lot less attendees.
Are pilots with their passengers now deemed too much of a risk around aircraft?
(even with a high vis. jacket course)
