  1. Larmer Tree Festival

    I never really considered Larmer Trees before, but the more I hear about it, and the more I look into previous and current line-ups, I think I've been missing a trick all these years!

    I think a double visit to Larmer Tree Gardens next summer might well be on the cards.

    That's interesting. I did think the choice was a bit limited at EOTR, albeit with some pretty nice stalls, as these things go (big fan of the Goan Fish Curry stand). I'm hoping they add at least a few more food stalls and perhaps an on-site "shop" style thing, like Glasto or the like, instead of having to rely on that little stand for cigarettes etc (not that I smoke, but the other half does)

    The queue for the Pieminster truck was something to behold! And they'd run out of blimmin pies by the Sunday.

    Does Larmer Trees cater for a larger amount of people? Or is it roughly around 5000, like EOTR?

    Well - I can't help with the specifics about the Larmer Tree Fest itself, but I went to the End of the Road Festival last year and it's on the exact same site.

    For me, the camping was great - very near to the action and very peaceful. It took me no more than five minutes to pop back to the tent and pick stuff up/drop it off.

    In terms of shops and food - as far as I could tell there is basically nothing for miles around. There could be a local shop or two that others will point you in the direction of but a) I'm sure they'll be a car journey away and B ) they might just be newsagents!

    At The End of the Road there was plenty of food and refreshment on-site. I guess that if Larmer Trees is a camping event, they MUST have a similar set up or their beloved customers will starve to death, or at least wave limply at Tinariwen before fainting from malnourishment.

    Hope that's of some use! It's a really beautiful setting. I'm actually rather tempted to pop down for the Larmer Trees too!

    Larmer Tree looks like they've really pushed the boat out this year for their 18th birthday ...The Levellers, Bellowhead, Eric Bibb, Orchestra Baobab, Tinariwen, Seth Lakeman and Taraf de Haidouks plus loads of my favourite acts. Mark Almond singing with Jools Holland ....that sounds intriguing!!

    I see they only have 149 weekend tickets so I've just got mine!!
