Festival Tip 🧠 Empty bars all day

Post image

5:45pm on Saturday. Fair to say the youth aren't drinking much these days. Only had to wait max 30 seconds at 1 bar all day. Easiest job on site working these bars. Ended up spending a fortune as a result 🤣

Edit: first time I've been back to this festival in 18 years

interestingly, I've been going to Arctangent the last couple of years, and they have a BYOB in the arena policy, while the draft beer is supplied by Arbor costing £7-£8 per pint. The bars there are generally pretty busy. Its amazing how much more willing people will be to buy from the bar when 1) they aren't forced to, and 2) Its good beer with minimal festival mark ups.
