42... after that the gate staff think you're selling it

I'm pretty sure there's no limit, take as much as you want!

[rainbowstar]

Take as much as you can carry, or how much you can pull on your sledge!

[r0cky]

The official line, i.e. the T&C's from the Fine Guide is:

Only food & alcohol for personal consumption can be brought into the site.

[precious_lillywhite]

There no limt really, as much as you can carry, and you can leave the site whenever you want and get a pass out (don't lose the pass out tho or you're stuck!!)

The bloke next to me in the queue last year had six crates of Strongbow on his sack truck, and was heading back to the car for the second load, and he got in no problem! Wonder if he drank it all...?

there isnt any rule set in stone about the amount of alcohol that can be brought. obvioulsy if you are pushing 3 sack trollys & pulling a huge cart all stacked with alcohol then you may well be stopped. but in the past we have pushed 1 sack truck loaded up with booze for a few of us & its been no problem.

you can leave the site when ever you want, you get given a pass out ticket that you need to hand in along with your regular ticket & show your wrist band to get back in. but if you leave the site by car, dont expect to park your car in the same spot when you return, you will most likely be directed to another carpark further from the festival site.

Walk past quickly wearing a hat...

No, seriously, you should be fine unless you're obviously only about 12... in which case, get a grown up to carry the beer for you!

I'm 18 in july so I can pull off 18 if needed. I wasn't really worried about this anyway, just thought I'd make sure. I'l probably be sticking to spirits mostly this weekend though, but a few Kopperburgs cant go wrong. (or Brothers )

[Thatmax]

you need beer, wine or cider of your own really, you cant just sit there drinking spirits all week, it wouldnt be right

[dunny oasis]

For anyone thinking of leaving the site to pick up more beer it's worth bearing in mind that you'll definitely need a car. Nowhere in Pilton serves takeaways and there's nowhere else within walking distance to buy beer.

I don't know how close the nearest offie is, but you might be looking at driving to Glastonbury to find a decent supermarket.

how long a walk is it into glastonbury town centre?

[bexj]

f**kin miles! i did it once and never again, would be a proper endurance test with cases of beer!
