GET SOME BEERS TOKENS

We use beer tokens at this festival. This system is preferable for security reasons, but also enables customers to be served more quickly at the bars.

The tokens are available from the Tokens Desk and cost £1.40 each and you can buy as few, or as many, as you want. We will give you a full refund for any unused tokens.

Using the tokens is very easy, per half pint measures for hand pump real ales you will not need to use any additional cash. For gravity ales below 4.9% your need a token plus 10p and for gravity ale 5.0% or more a token plus 20p for a half pint.

We are also using third of a pint measures on the cider and gravity bars. A third of pint will cost you 1 token and you will receive 30p change.

Cider & Perry up to 6.5% will be one token plus 10p and above 6.5% one token plus 20p.

Bottled Beers up to 5% will be two tokens plus 50p, between 5% and 7.9% will be two tokens plus £1 and over 8.0%, 3 tokens will be required

GET A GLASS

You need an official festival glass to get served. Pint and half-pint glasses cost £1.00, refundable when you leave.
