Food helps during a long outdoor event, but delivery and bulky packaging turn into a problem when tens of thousands of people share the same paths. The festival notice prohibits delivery food inside the venue and restricts food that produces large amounts of waste. Plan a small, sealed meal instead.
Plan before you leave
Do not make delivery the centre of your dinner plan. Road controls, closed access and pedestrian crowds make the delivery time and meeting point unreliable; even food picked up outside may be restricted if it is in disposable packaging or creates a lot of rubbish.
Use reusable, tightly sealed containers. Simple portions that do not spill, smell strongly or leave a large box behind are easier to manage. Water and drinks should be no more than 500 ml under the published guidance.
What to do on site
Eat only the amount you can manage at your seat and keep food, bags and containers away from passages, railings and exits. Finish dinner and clear packaging before the fireworks begin so no one has to leave the group in the dark.
Bring two small bags for rubbish and wet wipes or food scraps. If a bin is full, do not leave waste beside it or on the ground; carry it to another collection point or take it home. Less waste means safer walking routes for everyone after the show.
Final check
A modest packed meal is more dependable than a late delivery order. Clean up your own area once before you stand up to leave.
- Avoid delivery and large disposable packages
- Use sealed reusable containers
- Keep drinks at 500 ml or less
- Carry separate small rubbish bags
- Clear food and waste before the show starts
