Oh god it was awful 😞 I’m truly a totally positive and happy soul (and we met lots of similar people too) but this festival was an utter shit show. The basic infrastructure (toilets / hand washing / rubbish bins / security) were sacrificed completely making it GRIM from Friday morning onwards. Portaloos literally swimming in shit, urinals full, rubbish decomposing in the heat. Queues for food taking an hour as all the traders’ wifi went down. The line up (which I know is not the reason people go here) was pretty dire with little to no consistency across individual stages and wandering about felt aimless and something to do to pass the time. There was much less ‘to do’ (eg immersive stuff or comedy or cabaret) than I expected in the day so most people just seemed to have resorted to boshing as many chemicals as possible. There were dogs (and a cat ffs) being dragged around in 30 degree heat. It was the worst place ever. We left 24 hours early. Sad sad shit show.
