Paul ™ Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Thursday acts will be in the programme. Can't guarantee I'll have interweb on Thursday once the masses arrive, or be sober enough to remember! Not sure when the arena area will open but it will be before any acts are on stages of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Grump Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 After attending Glastonbury, Kendal Calling, Leeds Festival, Hardwick Live, Wickerman, Electric Fields and Bingley Music Live between us, me & a mate (Lochland5) have decided to give BT a try this year. What's the vibe like compared to the above (with the exception of Glastonbury as, just like Sinead O'Connor said, nothing can compare)? In addition, what at the bar prices like? Some festivals take the proverbial as punters can't take their own stuff into the arena...is it the same at BT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incident Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Atmosphere - Very relaxed and family friendly. Less 18-30 year olds than you get at most festivals around but aside from that a fairly even spread of age ranges. Nobody getting worryingly out of control. Bar prices - The main bars look a lot like this: The woodland bar has it's own menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerqueen Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 I'm sure I read on the Facebook page that they have. Most bars and food stalls I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Bars and a lot of food trader stands will be taking card this year. Also you can take your own booze (no glass) into the arena areas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any how looking forward to this gonna make sure I see Cult and The orb and the rest I will just go with the flow with Micks recommendations, bought a new tent today nice three man dome , again mick recommended it and said it’s dead easy to pitch so I will hold his beer while he shows me ?. Beer prices seem great what’s the point in sipping warm beer when your paying pub prices seems reasonable to me . Cant believe the hotpots are playing! You kept that 1 quite mick ! Total garbage ! whats the crack with getting in and out is the traffic bad ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take your own beer in too - I tend to buy most of my beers from the beer tent because as you say it's a lot nicer. But sometimes it's nice to be able to crack open a can without trudging to the beer tent - in the middle of a set or something similar. It's a small site so no problem nipping back to the tent/van/car for more either. Edited May 19, 2019 by Beerqueen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also need something obvious for the people like me who wander around oblivious to most things around them.
