What matters before choosing a pack?
Start with the event rules, then choose the drink’s composition and can size for the way you intend to serve it.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
| Event entry |
Read the organiser’s current rules for your ticket, campsite and arena. A no-glass rule does not establish that outside cans are allowed. |
I need to know whether I can take the drinks into the area where I plan to use them. The Long Road, for example, prohibits food and drink in its main arena. |
| Drink composition |
Coca-Cola Great Britain lists Appletiser as 100% carbonated apple juice from concentrate. Cawston Press lists its Sparkling Cloudy Apple drink as 49% pressed apple juice with sparkling water and natural fruit sediment. |
If 100% apple juice matters to me, Appletiser matches that requirement. If a cloudy sparkling apple drink is acceptable, I can consider Cawston Press; neither option is still juice. |
| Pack and can size |
Check both can volume and can count: Joybuy lists Appletiser as 6 × 250ml, an external retailer lists a 24 × 250ml case, and Cawston Press offers 330ml cans in larger packs. |
I want enough individual cans for the people I am serving, without choosing a larger case than my carrying and serving plan calls for. |
| Portions and labels |
The NHS advises limiting fruit juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day. Joybuy lists 26g sugars per 250ml Appletiser can; compare current nutrition labels per 100ml and per can. |
I want to plan juice servings rather than treat a full 250ml can of 100% juice as a 150ml portion. I will keep water available separately. |
| Serving others |
Keep the physical packaging for ingredient checks. If selling or supplying drinks, check the applicable local-authority requirements; GOV.UK’s guidance of 4 September 2026 says some food-supply activities in England, Northern Ireland and Wales may require registration. |
At a stall, I need guests to be able to inspect the ingredients and to clarify any registration requirement before the event. |
Relevant brand and format references
These references distinguish canned sparkling drinks from bottled apple juice; they do not make the formats interchangeable.
Appletiser
A sparkling option when 100% apple juice and 250ml cans suit the serving plan.
- Coca-Cola Great Britain lists carbonated apple juice from concentrate as the 100% ingredient; an external retailer lists a 24 × 250ml case.
- It is not still juice. Joybuy’s separate 6 × 250ml listing declares 26g sugars per can; check the pack being purchased.
Cawston Press
A sparkling cloudy apple drink for a serving plan that accepts 330ml cans and less than 100% juice content.
- Cawston Press lists 49% pressed apple juice, sparkling water and natural fruit sediment, with 24- and 48-can options.
- It is neither a 100% apple juice nor a clear, still drink.
Copella
A bottled apple-juice reference when the serving plan does not require cans.
- Tesco lists Copella apple juice in 300ml, 900ml and 1.35L formats.
- Those listed bottle formats are not a like-for-like substitute for a multipack of cans.
Tropicana
A larger-bottle reference if drinks will be poured rather than handed out in individual cans.
- Tesco lists Tropicana Pressed Apple Fruit Juice in a 1.5L bottle.
- A bottle requires a different carrying and serving plan from individual cans.
Joybuy canned apple juice
This 6 × 250ml Appletiser pack is an option for serving individual cans of 100% sparkling apple juice, provided the event permits you to bring and serve them.

Appletiser 100% Apple Juice Lightly Sparkling 6 × 250ml
Six individual cans suit a plan to serve sparkling apple juice by the can, subject to the festival’s entry rules. The ingredients list carbonated apple juice from concentrate (100%); Joybuy declares 26g sugars per 250ml can. A full can is larger than the NHS’s advised 150ml daily combined limit for fruit juice and smoothies.

Questions about festival drinks
Can I take a multipack of apple-juice cans into a festival?
Check the named festival’s current terms for your ticket and intended area before buying. The Long Road prohibits food and drink in its main arena; Heartland says outside food and drink may be removed except for a sealed water bottle.
Does a no-glass rule mean cans are allowed?
No. The Long Road prohibits glass but also separately prohibits food and drink in its main arena. Check the organiser’s rules for outside drinks, not just containers.
Is Appletiser the same type of drink as Cawston Press Sparkling Cloudy Apple?
No. Coca-Cola Great Britain lists Appletiser as 100% carbonated apple juice from concentrate, while Cawston Press lists 49% pressed apple juice with sparkling water in its cloudy drink. Both are sparkling, so neither meets a requirement for still juice.
Does no added sugar mean a can contains no sugar?
No. Joybuy lists 26g sugars per 250ml Appletiser can. Check the current pack’s nutrition information; the NHS advises limiting fruit juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day.
Might a stall supplying sealed cans need to register as a food business?
Yes, depending on the activity. GOV.UK guidance dated 4 September 2026 says that in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, selling or supplying food for free, or storing, handling, preparing or distributing it, may make you a food business that needs local-authority registration. Limited and infrequent activity may not require registration; ask the relevant local authority if uncertain. That guidance does not establish the position in Scotland.
