Bezdad Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I like the look of this. How child-friendly is it, as I'm not sure whether to round up some mates or take my 3 year old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chumpton Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) As explained on another forum We have taken into account pages of emails and forum messages from people with their views and the general consensus is, ‘absolutely amazing festival but it needs to be even more family orientated’ This may not be everyone’s cup of tea but is simply the best and only real option to ensure the event will take place easily in future years. Anyone that knows the event know full well that this will still be a party beyond all partys but family camping and kids have their own field this year and a massive section of the festival budget has been put into this area promising it to be the perfect relaxing and enjoyable event for all the family Edited March 31, 2010 by chumpton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Town Mayor Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Sounds very positive and may consider returning. What are your plans for the campervan field this year as last year was a complete shambles? We turned up at about 4ish on Friday afternoon only to be squeezed in and told we couldn't pitch an awning as there was no space. I'm not sure where we were expected to put our pushchairs and other kit? Friends that turned up a few hours later were turned away and told to park in the woods as there was absolutely no space left. We paid £30 for a live-in vehicle ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chumpton Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Oh dear we really are soooo sorry !!! thanks so much for bearing with us, we were refunding camper tickets at the production office for vehicles that couldn't fit in (I know that’s no excuse) we completely underestimated how popular the event was going to be and how many people were going to attend the festival, then after having to change car park at last minute due to pre weather issues it left us really understaffed, I can only apologise and ensure you that the new site is over 10 times the size with every little area of the festival being either tweaked or scrapped and completely revised... I hope you can see past these problems, that were quite clearly a result of a new festival just in its 2nd year still really only finding its feet and trust the fact that 2010 will be spot on in every direction!!! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
