1) Exchange your entry ticket for your souvenir glass and programme on arrival. All drinks (beer, cider, wine and soft drinks) can only be bought with half pint tokens. Tokens can be purchased in advance with your entry ticket via this web site, or at the event for £1.25 each (£2.50 a pint for the less mathematical beer drinker!) 

2) If you have any tokens left at the end of the session you can use them to fill a (FREE, 4 pint) flagon of your favourite beer to take home! If you run out of tokens, you can buy more at the cash desk.

3) If you break your glass, you can purchase a new one at the cash desk.

4) Pick up a free programme on arrival. It contains the beer list and room for your tasting notes.

5) Popular and unusual beers sell out fast! If there is a high demand for a beer you want to try, then don't leave it too long before you buy!

6) Please feel free ask for "tasters" before you buy a beer if you're not sure what to order. However, please try to limit such requests at busy times.

7) Food stalls around the hall offer hot and cold snacks. Food stalls take cash, not tokens.

8) Toilets are situated in the separate toilet block. Just follow the signs – please use them sensibly and let staff know if you spot any problems.

9) The festival will be a non-smoking area, like restaurants and pubs. Smoking will be permitted outside the hall.

10) To save you having to drink and drive, we've listed a huge range of local Taxi firms and B&B's. Just click the links on the left!
