Licensing Laws
A local by-law prohibiting the consumption of alcohol outwith a
“designated area” came into effect on 1st August 1999. Permission for
a “designated area” for the consumption of alcohol has been granted to
the Mull of Kintyre Music & Arts Association to include a cordoned off
area on Kinloch Green on Saturday 21st between 12pm - 5pm only and in
Burnside Car Park on Saturday evening 6pm - 8pm only. The consumption
of alcohol outwith these areas and allocated times will be deemed an
offence. We will be grateful if members of the public observe this
by-law in order to create a relaxed, enjoyable weekend for young and
old alike and maintain a good image of the town for potential visitors
and for future festivals and events.
PLEASE NOTE
- It is illegal to bring alcohol on to Kinloch Green. Furthermore it
is illegal to bring alcohol into the designated licensed area unless
it is purchased at the Beer Tent. Please support the festival by
purchasing your alcohol and soft drinks at the new beer tent. This
will enable the festival committee to continue to improve the services
at this venue!
