Unfortunately if we can’t source a camper van ticket we will have to hand our tickets back in ahead of the resale 😞 Don’t think I’ve ever had them cross check names on camper van ticket and actually ticket, so happy to take the chance if it means we can go

Long shot - but would anyone have a spare camper van ticket? We have 3 small boys 4/3/1 and can’t really manage the festival without taking the caravan. Waaahhhh!

Get me there now

My pal paid £6-7k for their stall. But will vary in size of pitch, location, type of vendor etc.. This sort of pitch fee was very decent for the location and the amount of serving hours you got compared to other festivals, but the issue with all festival catering is that there are so many uncontrollable variables / risk from one event to another, one year to the next. my pal has now really scaled back the number of events they attend because often it’s little reward for the hours of graft put in.

I was one of said underage people in 2005 who can attest to getting totally ball bagged on the 2l bottle..! I think I woke up one morning outside my tent still holding the bottle..!

We dipped in to Shindig festival for the day with all 3 of our boys. Dusted off our festival pushchair and got a sense for the chaos that will be the Big G..!

We are fairly local and last time out we had our eldest who was only 4 months (now 3 years 4 months..), and we stayed in our caravan which was pretty easy going. We had him with us Tuesday - Friday morning before dropping him off with family at home. Our group of family & friends loved having him at the festival and pitched in helping find shade / holding him whilst ordering food / beer / toilet runs were done. This year is going to be a whole new experience. Our family has grown and we now have 3 boys, 3 YO, 2YO & 5 month old. We can’t farm them out to family for the duration of the festival, so we’ve taken the decision to have them all in with us. Will be a totally different experience and a military operation. 2 x double pushchairs loaded with their bits, lots of trips to Greenpeace / Kids Field and the Theatre & Circus and hopefully everyone should be happy. I doubt we will be hugely mobile, but having the double push chairs and being able to split up should allow for us to try and catch some ‘must sees’ and hopefully for them to crash out in the evening 🤞🤞🤞
