stevieweevil Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 thanks for all the info, really useful.... how strange that there isn't a site map! is the area where the stages are separate from the camping? can you take you're own booze down to watch the bands?

Mardy Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Does anyone have a map of last years site they could upload for me at all? I can't seem to find one on line, strangely. Just fancied a little look to familiarise myself before my first EOTR this year. Thanks. I was just sorting some books out at home and found last years programme. I can take a photo of the map and stick it up here if you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fareham Grecian Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) I was just sorting some books out at home and found last years programme. I can take a photo of the map and stick it up here if you want? Yeah, do it. On the assumption that it won't have changed much. (I always think it's a little odd that the site plan is difficult (sometimes impossible) to find on the EotR website) Edited August 9, 2015 by Fareham Grecian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoebox Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Does anybody have an idea of drinks prices? the selction looks great but some festivals take the mick with bar prices. Cheers Think it was around 4 quid a pint. Not badly priced at all. Spirits, where available, were pretty pricey though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fareham Grecian Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Does anybody have an idea of drinks prices? the selction looks great but some festivals take the mick with bar prices. Cheers Real ale I think was only £3.60 - pub prices. Wine and spirits expensive but if that's what you like, take your own - no glass though.

shoebox Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 They normally have about 50 real ales available over the course of the festival. I usually take cans as well, otherwise I would simply spend far too much. Thankfully you can get some decent ales in cans these days. The only downside is ale farts in a tent.

shoebox Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I thought I might get on with you from your posts, but that is ridiculous. Oh come on. Gone are days of being limited to Ruddles County, John Smiths and some creamy nonsense. Over the past few years I've taken Hobgoblin, Fursty Ferret, Tanglefoot, Black Sheep, Old Golden Hen amongst others. Nothing wrong with any of them. Obviously they don't compare to what's available on draft at the festival, but they're all quality alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fareham Grecian Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) http://drinkcraftbeer.com/editorial/articles/craft-beer-cans-vs.-bottles-is-there-a-difference.html I dIdn't mean canned beer is worse than bottled, more that any pasteurised beer is an abomination. Real ale only for me. Not because I'm a snob, I just don't like the taste of keg beer. Edited August 19, 2015 by Fareham Grecian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to double check - can you take cans in down by the stages? Stocking up on supplies this evening and don't want to take too much if we can't bring it into the arena.

I'm taking 20 cans. 5 a day on top of the stuff on sale. Any more seems like carnage/unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blannyboy Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'm ploughing my way through 6x500ml plastic bottles of water by Wednesday so that I can then fill them with something a bit more substantial, plus a few cans that I bought on the reduced shelf at Tescos.
