Q. Can I bring bottles and glass to the festival?

A. No, glass cannot be brought in to the festival for health & safety reasons but are allowed on the campsite. Plastic bottles are allowed.

Q. Do I need to bring ID?

A. Yes, unless you will not be buying alcohol at the bar (or are obviously over 18 years old).

Weyfest will be operating the Challenge 21 initiative which aims to cut down on underage alcohol sales and highlights the fact that:

“if you are lucky enough to look under 21 you will be asked to prove that you are over 18 when you buy alcohol”.

Acceptable forms of proof are: photocard driving licence, passport or PASS* accredited proof of age card.

The 'Challenge 21' initiative encourages sellers of alcohol to ask for official forms of identification from anyone that appears to be under 21-years-old. If a trader suspects someone is under that age and doesn't have the relevant identification, eg passport, photo driving licence, citizencard, they will not be served. Stewards on site also have the power to request proof of age if they see anyone drinking alcohol who appears to be under age.

The scheme is being promoted because it can be very difficult to identify accurately whether someone is 17, 18, 19 or 20 but is usually easier to determine whether someone is 21. However if young people have official identification to prove they are over the age of 18 they will of course be served legally.

Q. I can't find the answer to my query. Who do I contact?

A. Please send your query to info@weyfest.co.uk
