We’ve also partnered with some leading drinks brands, including Veuve Clicquot, whose champagne bar will be back this year, as well as Marston’s who’ll be providing Hobgoblin Session IPA throughout the Ground. Hendrick’s has speciality bars if a refreshing gin is more to your taste. 

In order to foster a fun and friendly environment for our younger guests, we operate no-alcohol areas in some stands. These are the Compton Lower and Tavern Upper (Level 3). Alcohol will not be served in, nor can you bring alcohol into, these stands. 

There are also designated Family Stands, Mound Lower and Warner Balcony, where you can bring in alcoholic drinks, but tickets have only been sold to family groups.

At the end of the day, simply return your cup(s) to one of our designated redemption bars to receive your deposit back. 

Please help us by returning your used cup or putting it in the redemption bins at the exits instead of putting them in the general waste or recycling.
