The percentage of festival-goers that cannot purchase alcohol (legally) is only 5.6%, which means that 94.4% of festival-goers can buy alcohol.
A huge part of festival culture involves alcohol, and as our team are not 18, we cannot serve alcohol, which seriously limits the potential of our festival.
Even if we were of legal age, purchasing a license to sell alcohol can cost between £100 and £1000, which would mean that we would need to scale our event to compensate for this, which goes above the scope of our team and budget.
