Theme

The theme for 2010 is Global Safari - The Big Adventure, and the Magic Wardrobe is ecpected to be on-site to help with your fancy dress needs.

Around the site

The festival has four stages. The Main Stage is outdoors by a lake, and will feature live bands from orchestras, folk and salsa to punk, ska, indie, electronica and more. The dance tent will have d'n'b, breakbeat, techno, reggae and more complete with visuals. The bar area has comedy, poetry, jazz bands and DJs as well as the normal bar drinks. The Cinema Tent will have animations, short films, documentaries and more. There's also workshops and circus skills, crafts, open-mic, food, and markets.

Spirit

The festival organisers are hoping for a "laid back bohemian feel to the event, in the spirit of all the original festivals before commercialism prevailed."

Disabled access

The festival area is a short walk from the main campsite. The ground is fairly level but better access and parking for disabled festival goers can be arranged in advance.

Camping

Camp fires will not be allowed on the main site or by tents but there will be a designated fire pit in the camping field for those who wish to stay up late. There will be 24hr security on both the main site and in the camping field as well as plenty of toilets.

There will be more information here once it is available.
