This venu being a little extra yeah, previously I thought the industry standard was 1 30 rack or a 5L box of wine
Lost Village do this. When we asked why, they actually said it was a financial thing. Smaller independent festivals rely heavily on food and drink purchases.
Fair game imo. If you really want to beat the system though, just pour in vodka/tequila into water bottles and hope they don’t decide to to check
Don’t bring glass. Just don’t do it.
I tend to bring in some booze when I first enter the site, go back to the car at a later time when the security staff have changed and bring in more. They will have no way of knowing how much or if you have entered with booze prior to this.
This rule is standard for every camping fest I’ve been too. Just sneak whiskey in apple juice bottles or vodka In water bottles etc etc.
Generally, small independant festival organisers have to jump through many hoops to be able to put on a festival. From the local council permissions to insurance, there will be some reason for it. And of course supporting the bars means more money and improvements to the festival year on year.
There’s a difference between festivals that will take advantage and charge you loads per drink, and those that will allow maximum personal alcohol intake while keeping bar prices low. These are usually the ones that are interested in a proper party and not just profit.
Boomtown have a similar rule tbh . We just snuck a 6 pack of water in with the bottles filled with vodka is plenty of tricks to do it online. Key is to put water on the outside of the pack and the vodka in the middle.
Most festivals all say no drugs on site, but I haven’t been to a festival yet that it wasn’t obvious that those rules weren’t being followed . Leeds festival security used to sell the drugs they had confiscated from people .
No spirits is excessive. There is usually always a limit but that seems a lot. I just put my extra bottle at the bottom of my rucksack. I’ve been searched before and the literally just opened the top of it and asked if I had anything I shouldn’t. I usually go a few hours after the gates have opened then security can’t really be bothered
It’s a drag and cash grab but Smuggling booze in can be part of the fun!
Sure I saw a clip on Instagram where a guy visited the site in advance and buried his booze in the ground to dig up after the site was setup.
Summer Camp music festival in the US doesn’t allow any alcohol at all.
I’ve been to a lot of festivals with rules similar to this, not one have actually enforced it when we were coming in. But as others have said vodka in water bottles etc should do the trick
I’ve seen no glass bottles before but if they’re gonna limit what I can bring I’ll just go somewhere with a bit more freedom than that
Yeah I’ve seen this in the other small scale festivals I’ve gone to/booked this year. It’s not good but they want people to spend money at their bars which is where they generate more income I suppose.
That strikes me as extremely tight. Certainly not standard in any festival I’ve been to.
Just got back from Kendal Calling, and people could basically take as much drink in as they could carry to the camp site. No alcohol allowed to be taken into the arena.
Not on IMO. I feel for you.
Gotta boof the 5 liters of whiskey right before entry and then shoot it out into a bucket directly after security check point. The last part is important because you will die otherwise m8.
Went to a festival in Canada and they ban alcohol and don’t sell it at all sure people bring it in but it’s actually much nicer without it
It seems to be pretty standard for UK festivals now, was 12 cans at standon calling and 8 cans at secret garden party
Been to a lot of festivals that don’t allow spirits.
Put it in a water bottle and roll it up in the middle of your sleeping bag. Nbd.
Overreacting to what exactly? All I see is a normal festival rule.
Alcohol causes sooooo much problems so yeah this is pretty standard. They know people will sneak in more but it limits it and makes it where people don’t get blackout every night.
Decanted? Are they somalians?
Go to the festival ground now and bury a bottle to pull up later.. put it next to a tree or something where they can’t put a stage lol
Which festivall is this mate?
Are camping and the stages seperate?
Glastonbury is the expectation, not the rule. Though I will say the one thing which makes this worst than usual is that a lot of festivals with separate camping do let you bring a lot of alcohol in; you just can’t take it into the arena. This aside, this isn’t uncommon, and I know some of the smaller festivals have become stricter over the past couple of years as they are trying to increase profit margins due to having to have postponed for a year.
Wtf kind of festival lol, I wouldn’t go to something that is that anal.
Fairly standard these days for the small festivals…they make money from the bars. Glastonbury spoils us all allowing us to take like 10 crates each
Per day?
That’s rough. I’d def be sneaking some liquor in some water bottles or something.
The UK is wild lol
