The Pimm's blinged up but old school route master returns, set in it's own white picket fenced garden where you can sit down and chill out on oversized deckchairs and picnic blankets. The Pimm's bus is both a fully functioning bar where you can get perfectly served Pimm's every time, but the top deck is also a great place to go and get a birds eye view of the festival, decked out like an old gentleman's club with a convertible roof it's the perfect place for you to see all the action! Pimms will feature alongside the Jose Cuervo bar – the world’s number one tequila to fire up the festival.

 

The Residents Bar have already announced they will be doing their bit for the ‘Green Cream Dream’ this year by having a biodegradable bar and running on wind power, but the line up is something special showcasing all the unsung heroes that Creamfields loves. The famous bar wizards will be working their magic with flair, after earning their stripes and even getting approval from Mr Nasty Simon Cowell! The bar wizards tricks are guaranteed to make you smile. The mixologists are amongst the worlds best and will bring style and panache to the party.
