He's either worthy of a stage being named after him or isn't, and the amount of press attention his bad deeds had shouldn't play a part in that determination. I personally think the whole area needs a rejig on the lines of the Park area. Call the whole area "the woods". Have the big tent still, link in more coherently with the forest next door, a couple of smaller stages, the bar and tea tent. Make a nice entrance sign at the top of lower mead and also at Michael's Mead. decent idea honestly dont think the woods up there are utilised enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 They should rename it after another iconic figure from British Pop Culture past. How about: The Mr Noseybonk Stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility of Solitude Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 As the bar there is already called the Tolpuddle, how about the Tolpuddle Stage? Avalon stage/bar, West Holts stage/bar. Tolpuddle martyrs were Dorset based, quite close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryclaireyfairy Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) It did look like the area was about to get some love a few years back but then it looked desolate again last year, I assume for budget type reasons. It wouldn't be hard to make it pretty magical there. Nonce-sensical reasons aside, a rename is needed cos the current one simply sounds shit.

Neil Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 It could do with more than a rename, could do with a whole revamp, so it's more than a tent in a field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tent is not so new now so it’d have to be something like the middle aged bands tent. Could be a goer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
