jmcevoy2 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Ah right, yeah think that's the plan. At other festivals like Shambala i've rarely if ever seen them kind of policies enforced. Sniffer dogs are good, usually used as more of a deterrent rather than actively catch people as far as I'm aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr flow Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 If you're taking the p!ss and turning up with creates of booze they'll confiscate it but if it's just a create of 24 i'd doubt they'd do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebeedoobee Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 As a Boomtown virgin can anyone recommend the best areas to camp in? Looking for a quieter area for the elderly OH...he can't take the 24hr party people any longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcevoy2 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 We'll find out who the secret headliners are on the day? Yeah it's cool not knowing who they are. Was just wandering who was rumoured; heard one of them was one of the Marleys somewhere but can't remember where and probably wasn't reliable anyway.

jimmyt Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I've taken the plunge and decided to go to my first Boomtown. Going with one mate. We're Mid-thirties and early-forties, want to see plenty of reggae and ska as well as raving all-night, both to DnB and techno and to sillier stuff. Which district should we be planning on camping in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random_man Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 You'll have a great time Jimmyt - both a mate and myself go every year (were both in our thirties) and have a fantastic weekend! My only advice is, dont take anything you can afford to lose - even more so that other festivals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random_man Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I take it this means Toots have cancelled Boomtown too? http://womad.co.uk/media/tumblr-post/53193896750/toots-to-miss-womad-due-to-medical-issues/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah-Lou Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Just found out that my 6 year old Son has won tickets to Boomtown!! Never been before...Where exactly is it? Just looked on their website and the directions link took me to another festival website! Does the festival start on the Thur or Fri and when do you have to leave? Thanks for any info!

si_t Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I think its worth mentioning that this is a pretty messy festival - not the sort of place where some people would want to take their kids.... It's a great festival, but I wouldn't describe it as all that family friendly, however good the kids area itself is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
