Sfa !!!!!!! Made my weekend
-
Don't do this. People have paid good money for their tickets and they don't want the field being over capacity because people think they can try their luck and get in for free. I know it's not ideal for those who haven't got tickets but there was never any doubt that they'd sell out.
I'm sure people would be very unhappy if a few hundred people snuck themselves into the the emporers field and reduced the space in there for those who had paid.
hmmm - but they do start filling the camper field with over flow tents - so there is that.........
-
camper van folk - try this - having taken a camper van before - i know it would be fairly easy to park in the camper van field - despite not having the correct pass. (unless they have totally changed the road system). once you are through the main gates and in - it is young workers that wave you through to the correct place - we were waved all over the place wrongly - then corrected it ourselves by spotting the vans parked up and just went in. so - just follow signs for campers - i think it highly unlikely the lovely but very flakey youths will stop a camper from going in the camper field! once your parked your parked. worth a shot . nothing to lose - just act lost if you get questioned!
-
ah right! thank you ramragon. I bet it aint easy at all for anyone on crutches etc...... but - hopefully it wont get to the stage where a sledge is needed!! i am now going to stop looking at the weather!
-
Just had this email through -
Hello All,
just to give you a pre warning there has been heavy rain during the build of the event, so the ground is very soft and muddy, just wanted to give you a warning so you can plan accurately.
See you in the fields!
The joys !
where did you get this email from?
-
the car park runs parallell to the emperor field - you can just about see your car from your tent! that is the biggest bonus of emperor field
-
I keep looking at bbc weather, closing iPad, opening iPad, looking again. Repeat. It's pointless looking. Didn't give in last year, just gonna pack for Siberia. Oh and neat gin is my saviour.
-
i know it is an old farts fest- brilliant!!!! nail on the head. the sweaty teens can go to leeds festival and burn their tents after too many WKDs.
-
i have never been to a festival where it is set to be quite so cold!!!! rain yes - but have you seen those temperatures - we may die in our sleep. or at least lose a few digits.
-
oh no - are you from manchester? didnt meant to sound like i was generalising there.......... oh dear - how big is this hole
-
didnt mean to sound like a miserable git there!!! its a lot of fun - very convenient - people are friendly in the majority, decent facilities! i just felt very sorry for families who had booked there - young kids being terrified by very threatening sounding fighting manchunians, who after a few beers were vile. before you pitch your tent just stand still for a while an listen to your neighbours!
-
its noisy -and packed to the point of bursting. we stayed in it last year - thinking that the extra bit of 'luxury' in some way meant a more decent class of campers. it certainly was not. its very near the arena so there is that noise - also the campers are very very very loud. remember there is not a quiet camping after stages end ethos - like the family field etc......take your ear plugs
-
Tynemouth
-
not yet - i think its a bit late for them to spring this on some folk - who may be already on their travels, no access to printer etc etc etc............ so if you rocked up with your proper postal ticket would they not allow access do you think!? or if we can just show them the eticket on our devices - assuming we all have said device and good enough internet in a field.
-
Seriously in the emperors field everyone has massive tent, awnings, stoves, tables, chairs, bbqs, parasols, loungers, hot tubs, golf carts........
-
Oh and the email will be in your junk. Always is!
-
They give you it when you drive through gates where you show your tickets, you will get the correct wrist band and sticker for your paid for camp option. They then know which way to direct the car by looking at the sticker, different areas for different camp sites
-
Ignore that completely! Some folk have full on gas power professional bbq,with full size patio gas! We take proper camping gas stove with 4.5kg gas. They would never manage to police this one. People have proper kit, and a lot of it
-
We did use the showers last year, my 13 year old daughter screeched from her cubicle "oh my god this must be what it's like in prison" hilarious
-
They are just in next field, emperor field. I am just going to take all my tickets with me! Inc print outs.
-
Think you are right, but prince fatty trumps pub for me, especially with horseman! Shame we will be crammed into the diner really
-
Does anyone have the email saying we have to print off e tickets? It seems to say our official tickets received through post are no longer valid and we should use the printed ones instead? On another point, does anyone have experience of deer lodge? Are the reception staff useful? Been to kc a few times, but never deer lodge!
-
yes - he does an impromptu set of some kind each time. You will see a sandwich board type sign outside of the diner - it will say something like special guest today - between 3 and 5 or what ever - then its just a case of being there at the right time. We were sunbathing on the grass and noticed the vibe picking up and sure enough - there was the wee blonde mushroom head doing an intimate little set. thing is - i got the giggles as he was reading his lyrics out as poetry..................took myself outside before i upset wee Timmy.
lindisfarne festival
in other UK festivals
Posted
is anyone going to the inaugural Lindisfarne festival? any thoughts on it. I love the fact that it is so small and beautiful location. Not really interested in any of the bands - although i bet i am inspired by them when i see them! Just like camping - drinking beer for breakfast and generally being at a festival! forgetting about real life and work.............
Any insider info or rumours going around?
