What to expect- first time

[James411]

Decided that we are going to give creamfields a try for the first time. Been to glastonbury and V and loved them both.

Just read on here about the trouble last year. Is it really that bad?

What can I expect and where is best to camp

Thanks

Was my first time at Creamfields last year, we done the whole weekend camping and we couldn’t wait to return this year! I went to V the weekend before for the day and it didn’t even have a patch on Cream in my opinion.

I can honestly say I didn’t see any trouble last year, I heard the stories but saw nothing. I felt perfectly safe. Seems security in standard camping went a bit wrong but in hospitality was fine, wristbands always checked and bags always searched. Only criticism was that the bags were not even slightly checked on the way in. But I think it will be stepped up this year after all the negative feedback.

You are always going to get the people who are out to start trouble and who are not going along for a good time and the music, it’s the same at any festival.

It was one of thee best weekends I have ever had and I can’t wait for August!!!!

Yes it seems as though the trouble was in the standard camp site. Hospitality is sold out I think

Do you stay in the hospitality field.

Thanks for the info

Yer we were in the hospitality camp site and they sold out last week. My cousin was in standard camping last year and had no trouble what so ever and he is returning this year, plus the standard camp site is huge!!!

I think it just the luck of the draw, everyone round us was great we all looked out for each others stuff and we are even meeting up again this year. I think you would be very unlucky to go and find that sort of trouble again. There are always ganna be some idiots in such a big crowd, the stories from last year were awful but don’t let that put you off!! Honestly it’s such an amazing weekend im literally counting the weeks.

Also if you’re a bit concerned some people on here do a Group Camp, maybe check that out. Few threads below.
