Godiva Festival - no really, don't bring any alcohol
Gigs // Steve // 3rd July 2008
From Coventry Telegraph CV3 blog post :
Festival goers will be banned from taking alcohol into the three-day event. Any booze found on people entering the site will be confiscated by security guards and disposed of in large skips.
Eek. Seems they weren't joking when they said don't bring your own alcohol to this weekend's Godiva Festival in Coventry.
After last years' violence and general bad atmosphere it's not surprising that action has been taken, but it's difficult to see how they can police this absolutely, there's lots of ways into the Memorial Park. But there's more...
Drink will be available to buy at high-street prices in designated areas of the park but must be consumed in restricted areas. Anyone drinking alcohol outside of the areas face an on-the-spot fine of £50.
I wasn't planning on going this year, but I'd be interested to see how this all turns out, and if this is a workable solution.
