Lock ups

[dubs83]

Does anyone know if you can leave coolboxes in the lock ups? Probably could just leave in the tent right?

either or , my mate puts his lager in there in a bag .... much cooler than a normal tent 

[Alcatraz]

Yeah I don't see why not

Just don't bother itemising the ice cubes

You could just leave it in your tent but they take all things at the lockups.

Do people trust the lock ups for valuables?

Yeah can’t see it being a problem, we leave our ale in there and it stays nice and cool.

Yeah, left wallets full of money in there and opened them in front of people who work there and never any issues. Very smooth operation and very trustworthy.

 

im going to use them this year to keep my cool bag in and pop back and reload during bands 🙂 they take virtually anything

Absolutely they have an impeccable record . Take a photo of the ticket and throw them a small donation . Cannot reccomend them strongly enough .

They close at midday on the Monday.

Do not forget this!

Yes - it’s the best place to leave any valuables- car keys, cash, passport, spare phone, spare medication or trolley, cool box anything really - you will need to keep the ticket they give you to get your belongings back - take a photo of it!

Can anyone remember if you are allowed to collect something from the lock up that you didn't sign in, even if you have the ticket?  I seem to remember a signature being needed.....

 

eg would it be possible for Mrs P to deposit a bag, but I then use her ticket later to collect it?

I’d say not tbh … they do require a signature . Although maybe there’s some work around but that’s one of the secure features … my mates were able to get my stuff out with nothing but a photo one year when I’d left site in an ambulance but that required all kinds of other checks

Yep, did this a few years back with an Igloo ice cold thingy. Grabbed a refill everytime we went past, still ice cold on the Sunday. Think the ambient temp in the lockup being lower than a small tent might have helped (better airflow?)

No - we'd need the person who left the item to pick it up. 

 

Otherwise how would we know you hadn't just found the ticket on the floor somewhere?

Always use the lock ups

Car keys, wallets and trolleys

Evrytime a pleasant experience dealing with the staff

 

The peace of mind is definitely worth a donation and whatever unopened booze we have left

Yep, that's what I thought but just wanted to check for our own logistical planning.

 

Thanks 👍

I wonder if an option of two people signing the same ticket is possible ?

 

And only one signature to sign out as long as they had the ticket ?

Sorry no - it we had dual signatories and different people who could collect, that would open up the possibility of disputes and other issues. It has to be one person signing and the same person who collects. 

 

I have worked at the lock ups at the fest for the last 10 years and everything checked in has always been returned to it's owner successfully. It is a brilliant and pretty much fool proof system, and a great service. 

[Guest]

Out of reactions but just wanted to say what a brilliant service all the lock ups provide. We use them many times during the festival.

i have a small nuclear reactor. would they keep an eye on it for me?? itd be great if they kept it in one of the extra secure places if poss.
