going to boardies and need advice!

Hi!
I'm going to boardmasters soon and I'm curious about the strictness of their security. if you went last year were intense bag searches a thing (removal of items ect.)? I went to reading and my bag was not checked at all... so I'm wondering if it's the same sort of situation with boardies? I'm 18 and can bring in alcohol however the festival does not allow spirits. As a heavy weight I'm not particularly excited about the thought of extortionate drink prices so would preferably like to sneak some supply in with me covertly!!

Hey! I see you didn't get any response, but I assume you have been now? I have the same sort of questions, so do you think you could fill me in on your experience?! x
