Pulp at Finsbury Park bag policy

Finsbury Park prohibits any ticket holders from bringing any bags into the park unless it adheres to the venue’s regulation.

If you have a bag that is non-compliant you will be refused entry.

All bags are checked at an outdoor cordon and for any dispute of size, a bag gauge will be used so it’s best to keep bags small.

The most important rule to follow is that bags must be no larger than an A4 piece of paper.
