BST Hyde Park tips
Here are a few tips to get the most out of your experience:
- BST is not only for music but also for food lovers. You won’t be able to bring any food or drinks in with you, but you can enjoy all sorts of options in impressive, themed bars and fantastic food stalls. Don’t forget to bring your reusable bottle and fill it up using the refill points.
- Prepare for the weather. Bring sunscreen, hats and sunglasses or a waterproof coat and shoes to make sure you’re prepared for the unpredictable British weather.
- Sit and relax. This is a fully standing event – meaning you’re not allowed to bring any seats or chairs. However, you’ll always be able to find a spot to sit and relax.
- Use your American Express® Card. Bars and food concessions accept contactless payment, so you won’t need to bring cash with you. The more you use your Card, the more points and benefits you’ll earn. Find out more about Membership Rewards®.
