How do I prepare for a late-night event there?
Plan your transport home; check the last train or bus or book a rideshare in advance. Bring a light jacket (it can get breezy leaving the outdoor area at 3–4 am). Charge your phone for calls or ride-hailing. Don’t drink outside alcohol as it’s illegal inside – only buy drinks on-site
www.ticketfairy.com. Arrive rested and hydrated, have a snack beforehand, and an extra layer of clothes for chilling out after dancing.
