These are: 12 cans of beer/lager/cider OR 75cl of spirits (in a plastic container) OR a 2.25 liter case of unopened wine.
Standon Calling says: “You can only bring alcohol on first entry to the festival if you exchange your ticket for your wristband.
“If you need to bring alcohol into the festival for a later entry, please speak to a member of staff at the gate on your first arrival and ask for an alcohol pass.
“It confirms that you haven’t brought in your alcohol-free limit yet.
“You are not allowed to bring alcohol to the festival unless you have an alcohol pass and have already exchanged your ticket for a wristband.”
Day pass holders are not permitted to consume alcohol on site.
