Hey, this is my first v and I'm not sure how much cash to take! I'm not taking much food, just some cereal bars, crisps, biscuits to snack on so will be eating there. I know its gonna be expensive but how expensive? Also taking some vodka but not enough for the whole weekend!

Any ideas on how much stuff will cost?
How much to take?

I also hear there is a fairground!

Yes there is a fairground.

I live off pancakes.  They vary from £3 to £5!

You can get noodles for about £6 but its the hugest plate imaginable and a burger will be about £4/5.

Bottle of pop will be £2 as will a bottle of water.  (Pet hate of mine that!)

Chips probably about £3.  Usually cold.

It's not the cheapest food in the world.  Nor is it the best.  But I find I dont eat that much tbh!!

yeah theres a fairground i spend too much there every year

moneywise its around £4-£5 for a burger or sausage and chips etc etc
bottles water around £2 same for 500ml bottles of coke
£3.50ish for bar tokens

take as much food as you can to save some pennies and eat as much as you can at breakfast time will give you plenty of energy for the rest of the day

have fun and if you want to treat me to a pint for my response i will more than happy oblige  ;)
