Its back up working now😊

Just imagine what you would have had to do if you wanted to borrow his chair😉

That’s an extremely decent WH line up, plus the best food outlets on site it’s a great place to be!

We need more cameras!!!

Correct, not as if you can look down into the abyss and identify your own.

Some of the long drops don’t clang shut anymore. That’s really disconcerting.

I’d totally agree with that. Been several times over the years and the atmosphere is great. The campsites are friendly and despite the age of the band the audience is multi generational, families from kids to grandparents as well as folkies. It will run its course over the next few years, a combination of the band retiring and the cost of putting on a festival. The cost is their problem this year and as they’ve stated it’s not unique to them.

Especially since she also plays For Man city.

Our tent was once adjacent to the path in lime kiln and the tractor used to pass right next to the tent with that cheery man hollering milky milky. 😊😉

It’s a quirky festival. Traditional folk with acts like Richard Thomson, Kate Rusby etc but also acts such as Frank Turner, Nile Rogers, Levellers, Supergrass and even Alice Cooper have appeared. Fairport still have quite a following though it’s ageing with the band😊 Reckon the festival has got only a few years left.

havnt been for a few years now and yes, it does make us feel young as well! I think the last time we were there Brian Wilson was playing. Fairport were Glastonbury regulars from the early days. The two village pubs are always rammed, we ended up drinking in a churchyard.

Yes, the headliner hype doesn’t affect ticket sales. The festival could possibly sellout twice over. In comparison other festivals are suffering. I’ve had so many e mails from other festivals promoting ticket sales. In fact this morning I got a message from Fairport conventions cropredy festival, usually really well attended, explaining how much it costs to hold the event, how so many similar festivals have folded and asking attendees to tell friends and family to come along. Obviously this year they are struggling. A nice friendly folksy festival with a great atmosphere in a fantastic location, access to village pubs and local area.

Avalon and other, but I can see why the glade is popular with so many. Whatever happens as usual there will be clashes for everyone!

Milky milky tractor! I don’t think it’s around anymore. Not only fresh milk but also a great alarm wake up call!

Correct, the tickets have your name printed on them, and are exchanged for a wristband on production of photo proof of ID such as a passport or driving licence. The festival are strict about this and that tickets are sold for face value only. Hospitality camping is near Woodsies and there’s access to the hospitality area between the pyramid and other stage. A good cut through to miss the crowds I’ve been told. I think entry to the festival is through the wicket gate near gate A. Hospitality parking is at the bronze gate and costs more that other festival parking.
