Watchet Festival 2016

[themuel]

Is anyone going to Watchet this year? I just booked tickets on a whim, what do I need to know?

[man next door]

its really good. 

pretty small, but lineup getting better and better each year. 

reasonable food and bar prices, lovely view of sea behind main stage... 

Its a cool, friendly place

Great festival, cider fuelled atmosphere, take some woolies as its on the top of a cliff overlooking the sea and can get pretty cold if the wind is coming off the sea, don't miss Geno Washington, he was terrific last time.

Cracking small festival with a special line up this year for their 10th birthday.

It is a 10 minute walk down to town where there is a coop for getting supplies if needed, some pubs (Sunday lunch can be booked but get in early**) a steam railway and the best, for me, a fish and chip shop right next to a cider and real ale bar (Pebbles) and they let you bring your chips into the bar.

The festival site is small and nothing is therefore far away - which is useful as the bar has two happy hours a day. I think it was £2 to £3 a pint in these times and not much more outside!

 

**Nanas kitchen on site also does Sunday Lunch

They did have some left on Wegottickets at the weekend.

Edit - they still have some but not with camping. Try their Facebook page if you are after those as some people were selling some.

Excellent. If you see a walking cucumber there that will be me.

[purplebridget]

I will come and say hi and buy you a beer/cider...whatever your tipple is!

I have to admit I've it really enjoyed their social media presence in the lead up, quite angry sounding. 

I didn't realise it was an arena situation, are we better off taking breakfast sudd for before it opens each day or is there food available in the campsites? 

And leaving/reentering the festival - easy? 

Thanks.

Thanks. 

As far as I know the food outlets are all open for breakfast and access to the arena is easy and I think open most of the time. Security on the entrance which is just past the Udder stage.

I can see why people like it but it really wasn't for me. I won't be going back.

I've heard it's not on next year
