Hi! The first clip was around 3pm and as u can see, there were already quite a few people waiting. Best to get there as early as possible to get a decent spot. Tom

[Danni05]

Woah! okay that gives me enough time to get there early in the morning haha, may i ask what time you got there for?

[tomsearsuk]

I think we got there around 2pm.

Anyone know what the rules are regarding alcohol, can we bring a bottle of wine or a few cans or is that not allowed?
