I've never been searched going into the campsite although I know this happens at some festivals so it's not impossible. If so it wouldn't be all that intensive as if it was they'd never get eveybody on site.
You may occasioanlly be padded down at the arena enterance, this is again not that intensive and is only likely to find large things, like bottles or weapons. Just think the standard club bouncer thing.
To be honest most of the staff will be working long shifts, for not that great cash and will be hungover from the previous night, sleep deprived and planing out what they'll be seeing later. So not likely to be working all that hard really.

The arena bars used to sell Burrow Hill rough cider - you didn't need LSD after a few pints of that stuff. Sent you loopy...

It wouldn't be a festival without stupidly strong cider

Suppose if they tried using sniffer dogs they would go nuts with all the scents!
Seperately, wonder if we'll see coppers equipped with Helmet cams like at Glastonbury this year....?

Warning people off acid, criticising the use of White Lightening...do you think Tate is taking his 'moderator' title a little too literally ;D.
having said that acid is a stupid hippy drug & should be avoided at all costs.
A day of medium strength lager, a fine wine with dinner & a double brandy to finish on the other hand.....

Arrests do happen, but there aren't a huge number of police on-site. They will occasionally wander round the campsite, but that's most likely as eveyone's arriving when there's more space. Plenty about on the road into Reading though. Just use common sense, really. Don't be blatant!
