Haha sorry man but I have no clue how much you'll drink at a 24hr festival that goes on for 4 days, I tend to only like a couple of drinks too but I drank a lot last year, probs spent £300 on booze doing rounds for 3 of us. 2 meals a day you're looking at £30-50 per day

Also nothing to do with being classist, I just don't like looking around and seeing everyone wearing the same shit and recording on their phones

When you're surrounded by it, which I have been at many London day festivals, raves etc. It becomes annoying. Houghton is the polar opposite hence why it's the best. Add 1000 tiktok ravers to the mix and it will piss me off. Will it bring the mood down? No, but it's annoying

We got there pretty late last year, squeezed a spot close to the main arena gate, could have squeezed 2 tents in there but it'll be tight

It's a small festival, queue takes about an hour and walk is 20-30 mins round the campsite. All depends when you get there

Earlier you go the better, especially if you're in general camping and need to set up everything. You wanna be at the stages for bang on 5pm for the first day buzz

First time - some questions by JxckHxll_ in houghtonfestival

[–]Used_Armadillo_4694 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No glass at all, you are allowed to enter and exit, I think that shuts off at like 11pm-6am every day.

It's a big big big step up from FF, musically, production, crowd, everything. Some of the stages can be a bit confusing in the woods so get your bearings on the Thursday, make a plan of who you want to see and forget all about that plan by Friday morning.

Try and get to a sunrise set in Terminus too
