Yes, I went and thoroughly enjoyed it. Totally agree with your comments Caroline. It's a little gem!

Campsite and car park were a bit muddy but the actual site had survived Saturday's downpours remarkably well.

And what a lovely site it is! A kind of rural heritage and crafts centre, absolutely perfect for a small festival of this nature.

Bumped into several people I know from other festivals who had been there all weekend. All said that, Saturday weather apart, they'd really enjoyed the weekend and found Weyfest a very friendly festival with a lovely laid-back vibe.

I'll certainly go again next year. I think I enjoyed it more than I would have enjoyed the Bestival mudfest.

I have a couple of tickets for this year's Weyfest (5th-6th September) with Jethro Tull but unfortunately it's come too late in the day for me to get enough time off work so I can't make it... I have them on ebay for £80 (face value £150) if anyone is interested in saving a bit, give me a shout by message... :blink:

I'm going to this for the first time this year. I'm doing Saturday only, but it's a real prog rock nostalgia-fest: Wishbone Ash, Focus, Curved Air, with Seth Lakeman headlining. Reviews of the site have all been positive from what I've read - sounds like a mini-Guilfest to me.

Did anyone on here go? I was so impressed with it.

It's like a micro-Guilfest but much tidier and far less commercial. Amazing that they manage to squeeze 4 stages into such a small site without it ever feeling in the least bit crowded. And amazing that they could afford the (admittedly mature) lineup without charging the earth for food, merchandising etc. Beautiful little site, excellent range of local ales, a crowd of well-behaved families and mature festival-goers and it was always easy to stand at the front. Absolutely loved it.

I'll be doing the full weekend next year :)

      Tbf that happened to me in 2022 so not a one off. 40 euros to drive down 3 streets. I'd have done a runner but the reason for getting the taxi in the first place is cos I couldn't walk no more.

      I was fully prepared (waterproof jacket, extra pair of socks, foldable umbrella), but after four hours in the rain (from Geese through Oklou to Florence Road), it was just too much. Already at the hotel, let's hope tomorrow's better.

      It’s rare that I watch question time, but I almost felt sorry for Kenyon, he seemed like a guy just brought off the street which effectively is what he was, made worse by the fact Burnham and the Tory guy were very strong debaters. I think Burnham was very aware not to go too hard on Kenyon and risk him getting sympathy, in fact he pretty much ignored him.

      Shambles. Transport and comms garbage. Been looking forward to this since last June and have never been to a more disorganised festival in 30+ years.  Why we were told the whole festival was cancelled for the night if they had put back shows for a few hours?  Pissed off to say the very least and put a huge downer on the rest of the weekend.

      Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
