Secret Garden Party 2017 Alcohol

[sadimmock]

Apparently the second line-up announcement is tomorrow. I'm interested to see what level they have gone for; suspect it may be a bit of an economy package....

I think there's no riders for the bands, and they have to pre-order drinks from the festival.

'This is a serious party' !   It may as well be an Alcoholics Anonymous Convention given their stance on bringing alcohol in etc.

I wonder how far away from that they actually are!

Any update on this?

nope, their T&C's are still fully-absent of any and all alcohol restrictions.

They'll drop them in at the last minute and then say "tough shit", probably.

Apparently their "biggest ever announcement" is tomorrow. We shall see....

Lana Del Rey maybe? I'm amazed she's not been announced for a UK fest yet this year and think she's in France the same weekend?

from those who went last year, the writing appeared to be on the wall by the drop in numbers.

I've just discovered I might have been checking the wrong page for alcohol T&C's, doh.

I've just discovered this:

Quote

Can I bring my own alcohol?

Yes you can bring 12 cans, or 6 cans and a bottle of wine, or 2 bottles of wine.

No spirits allowed and strictly no glass on site so please decant all wine before you arrive.

Well, I'm pleased that's sorted.

It used to be,    The fact its the last year could go either way regarding  how much fun it will be in 2017.   All things must pass and SGP was sadly already passed its sell by date.

I really enjoyed last year. 

[acidliam]

In fact, putting Glastonbury aside, as thats a different league, I'd say it was the best festival I've ever been to.

[fingers_mark]

Shame.

Used to go every year and it was fantastic. So much attention to detail, accessible, fun and a great lake location.

Can't comment on last few years, but the line up did seem to struggle with top names.

Maybe i'll consider this one last time...

Wait, their 'biggest ever announcement' was... we're finished?

Line up is much better this year, I guess it being the finale is why

Compared to years gone by, the line up for the last few years has been absolute pants, including this year

I'm considering SGP this year as my friends and I want to do a festival for our 30ths (waa!) I wondered if the above quote from their website regarding alcohol is this the same rule as it has been every year? Or are you allowed less drink than before? Having read the start of this chat I'm so glad they appear to have changed their minds about no drink at all. I went to V Festival one year and aside from quickly realising it was not the festival for me, I HATED the strict drinks policy and having to buy tokens in exchange for drink. So much hassle and money for a plastic cup of wine

as far as I'm aware, what's on their website now is the same as it's been in the most recent years.

Great thank you!

I am aware that this is of interest to almost no one, but apparently another announcement is on the way. Not sure if this is more acts, entertainment, draconian T&Cs or something completely random.

Even though I'm not going to the festival, I'm interested. Would they do the unthinkable and back track on their bringing your own alcohol stance I wonder? Doubt it though.
