You can trade any beer in for a cold carling (inside the campsite I assume)

For anyone wanting to make a large saving on beer, buy tesco own brand beer (4 for 80p) and trade it in for the Carling

yeah need to be a bit careful as they only have 4000 cases to trade by the looks of it and i definately wouldn't want to be stuck drinking Value lager all weekend and warm Value lager at that!

[chilisara]

think there was one between the car park and camp site last year.....

do they really take that blue and white stripey crap????

Maybe they will only allow you to do 1 or 2 at a time....could be a lot of walking to and frow!

I haven't been able to stomach Carling for ages.. I wonder how long it will be before I'm a Carling fan all over again.

[sprocketrocket]

how do you know they only have 4000 cases?

on the official website if you look at the partners bit...

Yes they take tesco value lager and yes they will do at least 4 at a time.

At least they did a few years ago and i dont see why they would change it. Its only volunteers on the stand anyways so they wont give a shit either way

4000 x 24 = 96,000 cans

thats a lot really but is probably only about one per person on site!

Carling's Cold Beer Amnesty ensures that warm beer is a thing of the past by swapping ANY unopened can of warm beer with a cold can of Carling. Carling will be giving away nearly 4000 cases of ice cold beer across both V Festival sites this year. Check out www.carling.com for more information.

so is that 2000 per site? wonder what time it opens

Whereabouts will this stand be at Hylands? Last year I didn't see it, and according to the map that someone made on Google Maps it looks like it's miles away from the Yellow campsite!!

We're thinking of bringing a case or 2 of cheap Tesco lager to trade, plus some decent lager to drink

[Josephinus]

It's just outside the red campsite . . . you may not be able to access it if you're in yellow?

[Leighboi]

4 X Tesco Value Lager 91p! Awesome!!

[nathan121]

wonder what they do with all the beers you trade in?

They had this at RockNess and it's amazing. Opened at about 12 on the Friday then closed at around 5.30 before opening up again at night and going on til 2 in the morning. The Saturday and Sunday it opened at 9.30 am.

There was no limit on the number of cans you can exchange at any one time and they give you plastic tokens to exchange for your cold cans. There's a DJ in the Amnesty area and some benches too. You can only drink Carling in the area and won't get in without a can/token to exchange.

It was the place to be in the campsite at night.

Looks like it's between Red and Yellow then

So can you only exchange for beer to be drunk in the Carling area?

Or can you stroll in with 30 cans, swap it for 30 tokens and exchange it over the course of the weekend and take back to your tent?

You can take it away if you want, aye.

What I'm saying is that if they see you drinking anything other than Carling in the Amnesty area then they'll give you the option to take it outside or they'll take it off you and bin it.

The staff in there are really sound, a good laugh.

The tokens are wee plastic things with the 'Carling' symbol on them. Kind of like poker chips.

[Sooperstar]

Tidy. And this is outside the main arena aint it? Cos u cant take cans in there can you?

Pity that - gotta buy their expensive beer....
