is there any festivals that allow personal drinks..?

[JesseRose]

evening people.

having failed to get tickets for Glasto, and as my mate is adamant not to pay for many drinks inside festivals, I'm asking if anybody knows of any festivals, like Glastonbury, where its OK to take your own booze in with you..

Surely. We're even willing to go folk..

ta..

I believe Summer Sundae you can, but thats a small festie in Leicester. I was able to take my booze into the arena anyways.

Alchemy as well, again its a small one, but brilliant.

[Alchemy Festival]

Did anyone mention Alchemy??

Seriously - that is one of the main reasons I set up Alchemy - Was fed up of sneeking drinks in or being over charged - same with food, your welcome to bring your own at Alchemy. Also everything sold on site is at high street prices at max.

Hope to see you at Alchemy! - Got 4 festivals in 2011!!

www.alchemyfestival.co.uk

Super early bird tickets for the first 3 events available @ £20 at min. - Till new year.

Same with Bearded Theory, we will supply a fantastic bar with lashings of well-priced real ale/cider but everyone is welcome to bring their own to the site and there are no restrictions on what you can bring!!

[rabid]

Don't forget though everyone. Don't take glass to a field!

And End of the Road.

This has the added benefit of being the best festival in the country.

(With the possible exception of that big one in Somerset).

I don't rate Glastonbury as the best festival in the country, as there is no way of measuring it really.

But yeah, EOTR looks a great festival

I wont harp on about BT but Endorse It In Dorset, Beautiful Days, Blissfields, Eden, Knockengorrach, Nozstock you can take your own beer in the arena and all supply good Real Ale bars at decent pub prices. Quite a mixed bag their for age ranges and music as well.

I was lucky then and the drinking game entry system sounds fun

[llcoolphil]

I always spend more on beer at a festival that let's me take my own beer in the arena than I do at those that dont. Sneaking drink into the arena is hardly rocket science and Im just determined that I will drink my own regardless of what the festival says. And I'll buy even more if you charge me reasonable prices (BT, Alchemy, Eden, Summer Sundae from personal knowledge) than try to fleece me. Kendal Calling wanted £12 TWELVE POUNDS for 4 opened cans of Carlsberg this summer

Not to change the topic too much from it's original question but on a similar note and out of curiosity I've been putting together a list of beer & cider prices at festivals, gleaned from data on the internet (either official festival websites or feedback on the forums). It may not be entirely accurate so if I've got anything wrong or if anyone has anything else to add I'd welcome feedback. The link to view and edit is here.

Well as you'll know as you were at the festival, your Kendal Calling bit is inaccurate. Carlsberg was only available at £3 a can if you bought 4 and were prepared to have them all opened, otherwise they were £3.20 each and San Miguel and Stella were available, but at £3.50 per can, not as poured pints.

[llcoolphil]

That's a bit embarrassing but thanks for the heads up, I've updated it. There were poured pints from the MDU's on the main stage bar, I thought they were premiums but they must have just been.. Carlsberg I think?
