wro_lap Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Anyone know how much a case of beer/cider will cost in the shop at the festival? Quite cautious of the alcohol restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a6l6e6x Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Be pretty tricky to avoid spoilers of the football lets be honest. Just think how we'll be at a festival with 10,000 other people, no restrictions and actual live music while the rest of the country has to either watch the football at home or sat at a table in a pub in a group of 6 ordering beers through some terrible app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyDavid Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I plan on being so intoxicated and happy watching whoever is on to entirely forget about the footy! Anyone know what the campsites are like (granted they're slightly different to normal Download ones)? If I'm going up and down hills all weekend I might not make it to Sunday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not camped at download for many years, but I don’t remember any hills or anything when I did camp. With this being a scaled down version, I think it’ll be all flat.

Quite cautious of the alcohol restrictions. You'd imagine slightly more expensive than normal supermarkets, was thinking about alcohol restrictions, reality is they're going take a while getting through everyone's negative tests etc are they really then going to rummage through all your bags in case you've got a couple extra cans?

Moey Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 The campsites, plus parking, are all within the arena space. From looking at the map I think the car park and one of the camping areas will be where the campervans usually are and then the other 2 campsites are at the top of the hill where the merch and one of the tents usually are.

theesundayroast Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Is the car park included in ticket price? I can't find any info on the website and can't remember it being an addition at all when I got my tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SugarFree Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Reckon there'll be a silent disco or something after the headliners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so, or at the very least a decent bar playing music (like the cocktail bar in 2019). Would make sense to use the second stage tent for something since it's all one big arena.

iistroudley Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Can't believe it's a week away till an actual festival- you'd imagine we will get some more info soon e.g. set times, after hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galactus Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Still too early to be confident with the forecast? ideally don’t want to pack the wellies. Should be ok shouldn’t we?
