edfirth Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Theres not much to be see at the festival apart from the music, although unlike uk fests the music doesnt finish til 2am-2.30am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetime Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 This is a bit of an underestimation. There is literally nothing to see apart from the music. It's a big negative of the festival I think. The people camping are friendly but there's not much in the way of parties. One year I went we found a group of students and stayed up with them. Got told to go to bed at 5/6am by security because it was light and people were sleeping (we definitely weren't being loud and... it's a festival!). The other big issue is the time between bands on the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edfirth Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Why does that make it obvious? Loads of festivals overlap bands, just so there's always someone on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edfirth Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 But the barn and marquee dont overlap bands, if they did they wouldnt be so close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

august1 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm dreading it both ways if im being honest! i wanted to fly but by the time we'd added baggage and what not it was a small fortune and my poor student bank account couldnt take anymore abuse ;') Then by the time we got round to booking transport the Eurostar on the way back had sold out & we couldnt afford to stay over night in Brussels. SO coach was our only option. Nightmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JodieJay Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hi just wondering how much drinks and food are? I know you use vouchers so is it one voucher = one drink?
