Bottles of Festival Ale will be on sale at the Tpot Stage bar on Saturday:

Food and Alcohol notice

Food stalls will be on Tyne Willows Saturday 22nd. From pizzas, home baked goods, to ice cream, we have something for everyone to enjoy!
We have also commissioned a special Festival Ale, brewed and bottled for Alston Live! It will be on sale at the bar Saturday 22nd 😁✌️

Alcohol is allowed into the campsite. We ask that each person only brings a reasonable amount for themselves to enjoy (note, the festival is housed on a recreational sports field, therefore we appreciate no glass).

Please note, Alcohol is not allowed to be taken into the festival site. Only drinks bought on-site may be consumed on the Festival Site. We apologise to those who think this is unfair however the festival is subsidised by the profits made from the bar, and without it we simply would not be able to bring you all the great acts and entertainment on offer.
We like to keep our bar prices in line with other festivals and offer our festival goers good value for money. Support your local Festival ✌️

"Cazimi are a bunch of wizened artists that make awesome music. They have been described as 'Not so much the illegitimate sons, but the genetically engineered progeny of luminaries such as Magazine, The Bunnymen, The Stranglers, Hawkwind, Killing Joke, John Barry and Erik Satie.'"
Cazimi have been played on Tom Robinson’s Mixtape and his Saturday show, as well as local radio plays by Nicky Roberts at BBC Newcastle. The band released their debut album 'Late in the Day' in 2020 which is available on CD - as well as through AWAL via Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, TIDAL etc.
