Your favourite snacks and drinks, a phone for music if you want your own playlist, sunscreen, sunglasses, photo ID if you plan to drink, and a swimsuit and towel if you fancy a dip. We provide the ice and the coolers.

No. A self-serve cooler runs down the middle of the bar and we fill it with ice. You are welcome to bring your own cooler too. If you do, park that car at Green's Park so it is a short carry.
