The Wickerman Festival 2011

[festivalchick77]

But who is the so called old fetival favourite that seems fitting for the 10th year? It can't possibly be emmas imagination - dont get me wrong i like her but she doesn't fit that description. Wickerman is slowly losing its appeal every year. with the hitler security and the fun fair! Mini T! Heard eden is amazing like the wickerman used to be!

Oh and there seems to be activity on the wickermans facebook page

today's announcement's sealed it, I'm out

[Donkey]

I'll enjoy James but didn't think they, or Feeder, would be headlining acts at a Festival of Wickerman's size and price.

Don't know anything about Emma thingwy but you the hype around her announcement is laughable. Festival favourite indeed.

The scooter tent could still do with another headliner. Ah well it's not all about the line up eh.

Chuffed to bits with Nathaniel Rateliff, excellent announcement. Well worh checking out if you've never heard him before.

A few more like this please!!!

Tickets purchased from local record shop so looks like I'm going then

We're not camping in our usual place folks and decided to head for quiet camping after being kept awake til 5am every night last year by the horrendous noise from the skiddle area but all are welcome to come and join us.

We'll have The Wigloo

Hi all

just bought my tickets and will be there alone (well with my 13 yr old) first timers, and we'll be in the campervan field in our Bongo

anyone else there perhaps on their own too who might want to meet up for a few ciders?!

I just had a thought, I won't be getting there until the afternoon on Friday, are people still arriving then or will I be struggling to find a space?

Sorry for all Q's!

The site map for this year is pretty much as you are for the camping area. One or two changes within the main arena but that appears to be happening to accomodate one or two additional tents.

Hi all!

Turns out we might be going to Wickerman this year, i'm pretty excited, always wanted to go but just never got round to it, partner & I just made the decision this morning!

We are used to going to Rockness so i'm after little information please?

How far away from bus drop off/car park is campsites?

How much of a walk from campsites to main arena?

What kind of alcohol do they sell on site? Is it the same beer & cider or do they have a wide range, oh and rough prices for these?

Also food, Rockness has the last few years had a wonderfull Argylle food tent with much better quality of food compared to the rubbish burger vans, what can I expect at Wickerman?

How are the crowd? Bit fo a weird question, can imagine just like any festival you get a few arseholes who are at their first festi away from parents! But all in all is everyone quite friendly?

Thanks

[mammamia27]

Folk will still be arriving but there would be space for you even if you didn't arrive until Saturday. They know how many campervans are going as there is an allocated number allowed and number of campervan tickets sold accordingly.

How far away from bus drop off/car park is campsites? From the bus drop off it's adjacent, and from the car park I'd say it's a five minute walk depending where you get parked and where you pitch up.

How much of a walk from campsites to main arena? No distance at all as for time it really depends on how buckled you are

What kind of alcohol do they sell on site? Is it the same beer & cider or do they have a wide range, oh and rough prices for these? It was Tuborg and Brothers last year they did have a small amount of other beers, such as Innis & Gunn, but they did underestimate beer sales last year and run out of draught, and had to revert to warm cans of cooking lager (Tennents).

Also food, Rockness has the last few years had a wonderfull Argylle food tent with much better quality of food compared to the rubbish burger vans, what can I expect at Wickerman?

Affirmitive, there are a few arseholes but generally it's quite chilled, quite family friendly so, hopefully, you should enjoy it.

Thanks

Anyone planning on heading from Dundee? Gonna get Happybus was wandering how long it will take? Pretty annoyed it doesn't leave Dundee till 130 but gates open at Wickerman at midday! Will probs be closer to tea time when we arrive

[ski64]

Hi Treacle, Just pick your area in Quiet camping carefully, if you get to far from the arena you get near staff camping and I have it on good authority that there is usually someone over there shouting to wake his crew up at around 5.40am

[shezam]

Also! Also, if anyone could tell me the rough price of drinks and whether its a token or cash system?

And what the food is like! although hoping to take alot of my own x

[Donkey]

It's going to be beer tokens again this yeat.

I used to enjoy finding money at the bar.
