The bags of ice were a Godsend the last 2 years.  They could have charged way more for them, but it's nice that they were still reasonable.  Had a couple of smoothies and some snacks too.  Will have to get a members card this year.

What are the times to avoid it?

 

When I tried to use it a couple of times last year the queue was going out of the door (12.30pm ish on the Saturday was one iirc.)

It’ll be fairly peak most times … as peoples routines are dictated by loads of different bands . But I’d imagine quieter times will be evenings and especially during headliners . That said there’s 50 cash registers so things move pretty fast

Whenever I've used it - around lunchtime-ish - the queue has been out of the door but moves very quickly. I think they stagger entry but there seemed to be a good amount of tills so people moved through quickly. 

I'd agree, even if it looks busy you can be in and out really quickly. 

And yes, I think sometimes a queue out the door is actually just people being held so the shop isn't too busy inside.

I'll mainly be utilising it for putting ice in my MOTHS at camp 🙂

Let's hope they don't do a Sainsburys and those are replaced with help yourself tills with one guy covering them instead 😄

I went about 8:30am one morning and was straight in and out.  Went about 11:00am and was queueing outside half way up the side of the building, but was still only in the queue for about 15-20 mins.

It moves very quickly to be honest.

 

At Reading fest the queue would be 30 mins+ all day, everyday - glasto was never anything like this despite their co-op being smaller! Mind you Glasto's doesn't have booze!

Yep. Don't be too put off if the queue runs all the way back along the length of the building. It moves pretty fast. 

 

And first time you use it, don't forget you can't get out without a receipt!

Might be worth considering one or two of these in the larger 800g size - https://shoreusable.com/products/your-food-flask-by-sho?variant=47769515098420 I recommended them to @clarkete last year to keep his ice frozen all day. 🙂

interesting.  How much ice does it keep inside?

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
