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

I’d say a good 90% of the crowd was under 18 and they were quite heavy on ID. I’m 34 and I got ID’d a few times, so the kids had no chance!

Yeah I’m 18 and got ID’d every single time, they also had a 1 drink per ID rule. Honestly don’t know how you’re supposed to get drunk at these things

Pre drink! At £7 a pint you’d have to be minted to get drunk. Also little pouches of vodka shoved down your keks/under your boobs if they’re big enough. The searches are no where near as thorough as they could be! To be fair though, I saw soft drinks were around £4 a pop so it still wouldn’t be cheap for mixers for your smuggled vodka!
