Yes, to the right of the Pyramid when when you're in the crowd. Not sure if it's an ice creeam van, haven't been myself but read on here it's apparently there.

Chrisp1986 Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Another vote for Coleman Xtreme. Ice cold drinks left on Monday without even a cube of ice added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulping Gull Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 My tip is dont be such a wet wipe that is so prepared they bring all sorts of extra camping equipment just to cover all eventualities. It makes you sound like you lead a very dull existence, like a Mark Corrigan but even sadder. Cans get cold in your tent overnight so they are normally chilled in the morning. This is a good time to drink a few. After that, they will warm up, but im afraid that is tough sh*t. Is drinking a lukewarm beer really that terrible? You are in a middle of a field mate. If you really cant handle it, go to the bar and pay £6.50 for a chilled pint of Carlsberg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebeedoobee Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 My tip is take a space blanket and wrap it around your cool box. That along with frozen contents keeps things cool all weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 the ice cream van bottom right of the field was moved away because of crowd congestion i presume ? along that wall is wateraid refill points ? not sure where would do ice ?

gherkin8r Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) The place selling ice is further right than that, it's a wee shop that does tobacco products, sweets and some.basic camping equipment. Reliably has stock until at least 12 in my experience. There's another shop with the same people in the markets area, too and a few other places including the co op do ice but stock seems less reliable/ predictable.

gherkin8r Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Used to be another place that did ice as you go past the blues and gully in silver Hayes towards the wee bridge into river meade campsite. Not sure if it's still there as I wasn't down that way at all last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
