FESTIVAL UPDATE 🎪
To bring HBMF right up to date, to save money AND to improve the time it takes to serve you at the bar, we are delighted to announce that this year and for all future years, we are going CASHLESS
What does this mean?
It means you make a one-time, secure connection between your chip and pin bank card and a wristband we provide you once your tickets have been checked.
How does it work?
The video below shows how easy activation is (you’ll do this on entry to the festival) – but once you’ve done this, you simply order what you want from the bars, they’ll scan your wristband and that’s it – payment made.
Because it’s linked directly to your card, there’s no need to top up and, more importantly, no need to to chase balance refunds after the event. If you choose, you can add a pin number to your wristband transaction for added security.
It’s a simple, secure, one-time connection that results in less queuing, less waiting and more time enjoying – and it hugely helps us too!
We can’t wait to celebrate with you in just a few days!
Please Note: The food concessions are separate from the festival and will be taking payments how they wish.

I only use cash.., haven’t a mobile or bank chip card…??? Should have been told this much earlier!!!!! 🙁
All good until the signal goes, or an error occurs
Can you please explain how this will be quicker than tapping a contactless card? Especially if the “added security” of a pin needs to be entered
Oh this is dangerous, it won’t seem like paying this way. There gonna be alot of people with sore heads and an empty bank the next day 😠
Can you please confirm if we can pay with our card for each transaction?
Can I not just pay with my contact less card ?
How secure are the wristbands? What if you lose them?
I feel we should have been told this when buying tickets . Then we would have had a choice 🤔
Why announce this so late? Bit devious…..You might as well have sent out wrist bands to all instead if tickets and we could activate them in the privacy of our own homes! This will cause massive delays at the gate. Not everyone will see this message, deciding to announce this so late on
This is great🙌🏼 Not having to scramble around my bag trying to find my card every time I go to the bar👏🏼👏🏼
What colour are the wrist bands. Hoping it matches my outfit 🤞
how long are the queues going to be to Set this up and how private is it going to be to put your pin number in ? all well and good till the system crashes
They make sure that the event tickets are nearly sold out to drop this bombshell on people. I wonder if the ticket sales would have been as high if people had known this from the beginning?
What happens if someone pulls your wristband from you during the event. Are there options to get another wristband. I would also recommend everyone uses pin number in case wristbands are stolen.
