More info

The main stages area and bar are undercover, in a farm shed (with hard standing) so you won't get wet if it rains.

There's a small but adequate number of food stalls, including great Caribbean from the Jerkshak from The Scott Arms in Kingston. The beer is at decent prices.

The campsite has spectacular country and sea views, tho is a bit slopey, with some places worse than others.

More information will be here when available.
