First time.
Good: nice size for a few days, and lovely to be able to pop back to tent easily. So much room in the campsites too.
Good spread of decent music.
Sound was good on all stages.
Great alcohol choices, loved the craft ale bar (didn’t find it until Saturday, I think).
Very friendly atmosphere.
Trolley hire is excellent idea. Cost me £6 to save myself 2x back breaking trips.
Farmers Market coffee is amazing and barely ever a queue, god knows why everyone is queueing at the other one.
Taking your own booze around the site.
Bad: by Sunday I was feeling a bit bored of the site. Certainly couldn’t be a day longer. They need a bit more stuff for slightly older children in the 10-15 age range.
Though very nice, food was pricey and the £3 per helter skelter slide was a con. Make that stuff free. As is the £15 programme fee. I thought a lot of the stalls were selling massively expensive wares too. £70 for a cycling shirt 😳
Though I like it’s friendliness, it’s overall a bit tame (ie not so much wild behaviour). Not a fan of moaning about things being white and middle-class, but it’s quite that.
Needs a load more urinals, including female. But toilets weren’t that bad.
Ugly: Wasps! Piano stage piano is f**king awful, bring in a decent in-tune one!
Though not a fan of people constantly yakking through performances, it’s a festival so it’s to be expected somewhat and so I find the ‘shushhers’, of which there were quite a few, even more irritating.
‘Bacon’ stall saying they can’t adjust the order — my son asked for no sour cream and they refused to change it despite them bringing it out and covering it in SC as the very last act! 😆 boycotted them.
Power outage ruining Panic Shack set.
Definitely grew on me and I would go back.
