Festival Number 6 - Portmeirion, Wales

[Amy Lawn]

On August 22nd last year I got an email from Latitude offering "a limited number of 50% Discounted Tickets to our sister festival No.6, Weekend + Camping £80.00 + booking fee £10.00."

I had to enter my Latitude 2014 booking reference code to get the discount. They sent an e-ticket 3 days before I was travelling.

I think I'll only be tempted this year if they repeat this offer.

I've booked the time off work, if they don't do this it's not the end of the world, I'll just buy full whack, but if they do it means I can get way more drunk, and my three mates who want to come but can't afford it would be able to take advantage.

I don't know if it's bluster but they are saying tickets are running low and it will sell out, so if you really want to go you might be gambling by waiting.

Bugger, got the impression from somewhere that sales weren't great this year.

[Amy Lawn]

What??? Noone told me about them!

A grubby, disreputable lot, they are.

 

I bought tickets!

Hi

 

Its our first time at Festival No.6 and I wanted to double check about the shuttle bus from parking to the festival site....

 

Can you make multiple trips on the bus or would you advise to pack lightly and only make one trip? (I've Googled that question but not had much look in the way of information!)
 

Also, how is it getting back on the Monday morning?

Thanks

I've always been up n out early on the monday but friends last year where leaving mid morning said it was fine, probably slower getting in than getting out so either go thursday or get there early friday.

in that big blank space between the village and the main arena hopefully - where the farmers market was

Thinking of going to this festival,I'm liking the lineup,Metronomy,Bell and Seb and Kate Tempest standing out for me.

Quick question though what time does it finish at night ie DJs etc?

[Stanton]

3am Friday and Saturday, can't remember if Sunday was a bit earlier or not.

Cheers,that's perfect.

Tickets are moved up to the highest tier of pricing tomorrow, today is the day to buy.

[Thearg]

I think its a bit ripe that they charge 20 quid plus p/p for the park and ride,I can understand a carparking ticket but if there's four of you in a car that's 90 quid just to get a lift there and back.

Cheeky buggers.

It's per car. I really hope you haven't bought four!

Oh is it,what an arse,I must have misread.

Haven't bought a ticket yet,still trying to strong arm my friends in London to come up.

just bought tickets for this. really excited. wish there was more discussion, pics, videos and so on in here so I could read it all and work myself into a frenzy about how great it's all going to be.

 

anyone got any tips for the line up? that's the one thing about the festival i'm not particularly enthused with. DJ's in particular i'd like recommendations for. Not into anything too 'dancey'. for instance Greg Wilson is playing- very excited to see him. more along those lines would be great.

spend as much time in the Village itself and the woods, if the suns out get down to the seafront where they have DJ's on.

 

The Castle is really good for Chillin out in the daytime and for having a decent poo on a porcelain toilet but gets really lively and dancey late on.

 

make sure you see the Brythoniaid male Choir as they usually the highlight every year for me, see them either on the friday or the saturday when they play late on as it's not quite the same during daylight hours on the sunday.

Umming and arring about getting a Thursday weekend ticket or a Friday one,does anything happen on the Thursday night?

If nothings going on at all one more night in my own bed would be preferable and do they give you access to the village etc on the Thursday?

Cheers.

So there are bars open and you can have a mooch about then,you're not just confined to the campsite?

it was 2 years ago when I went on the thursday and I'm sure you were able to wander round the village but I could be mistaken

Anyone got a clue who the Sunday night special guest headliner will be,bit confusing as the headliner is Grace Jones,is it someone appearing on stage with her or a sub?

 

And anyone got a link to a site map?

can't seem to find one on their hard to navigate website.
