Lushcannon Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I was charged the correct CAMRA fee of £4 on Saturday but everyone else paid £12 which is extortionate....I hadn't seen this post saying £8.Thats a lot of extra revenue-and it was like organised chaos again in the main hall.Queue to get in then if you need to use the-few- toilets, queue to get in again.And all I could see snack wise was hot dogs near the main entrance.

This includes the glass and guide booklet and an all day programe of live music. Food. There were two cafes - the cafe bar (turn left from main entrance) and another in the big hall where the South Yorkshire bar was. Toilets - there were 3 sets - main entrance, West Yorkshire Bar and South Yorkshire bar plus portaloos by the smoking area. And don't forget its all for charity... ---------- Post added 05-03-2013 at 00:52 ---------- For those that enjoyed Magna and are looking to go to another beer festival, the SIBA BeerX is on at Ponds Forge from 14th to 16th March - http://www.beerx.org.

Must have walked around with my eyes shut regarding the cafes but there simply aren't enough toilets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemson Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 That all sounds very expensive and badly organised compared to the Derby one I went to a couple of weeks ago. It`s more than double the price! It can often make a huge difference which session you go to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCityAle Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 This includes... an all day programe of live music. so how about a discount for those who couldn't give an airborne act of copulation about the 'music', or even would prefer them to shut up? It is a BEER festival after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
