tjamest Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 May not happen of course, but i did a bit of Googling based on what i was told and an application was definitely submitted a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the festival first started in that neck of the woods before moving up north to it's current location. It would certainly be a game changer for me and would probably push me more towards going to the Equinox Festival in September instead. I'm not aware of Dorset previously (tho it might have), but definitely had a spell just outside Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to know? Just round the corner in Wimborne St Giles - I knew they used to like to keep their festival site secret so i didn't want to be too obvious about location, but i guess as it is in the public domain..... I have tried to post link to dorsetforyou.gov.uk but for some reason couldn't , but if you go there and then on to licencing you should be able to find it. Or google Wimborne St Giles Shambala and it's there Edited August 10, 2016 by tjamest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerplunk Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Looks legit. I'll be sorry to see it move as the current location is just down the road for me but I also kinda like their willingness to up sticks and move to the other end of the country (like they've done before), it'll be a new chapter.

5co77ie Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 that'll be their 5th site - I'm amazed they've been where they have for a decade. Well having last been in 2007 I guess a return is on the cards next year then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Crew guide FAQ I received yesterday says: Is Shambala moving site in 2017 "We have often been considering new sites as options over the years, and every year there is a rumour that we are moving! At present there are no confirmed plans to move sites in 2017" Note: "no confirmed plans", however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5co77ie Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 They once considered having a North and south version didn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt on a Stick Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Perhaps they are using the application to North Devon Council as a bartering tool for negotiations with their existing location providers. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt on a Stick Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 It's nearly time for the teddy bears to have their picnic. Can't wait. Going to start some of the packing for the festival today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Heading on down and over about midday tomorrow to join the stewards. Hoping for a drier festi than Glasto at any rate. Really don't know what to expect of the place - quite different compared to my usual line up orientated festi choices.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Today seems hot enough to dry the site out a bit after the weekend deluge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBface Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Final bits of costume arrived today... Starting to get excited! I live very local to the festival and the weather wasn't that bad over the weekend/last few days so hopefully the ground should be holding up well. Was hoping to get down Thursday evening after work but found out I have a late London meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first year that we went my wife pointed out to me that she hadn't heard a kid moan or cry the entire festival - and she was right because I hadn't heard that either. Unfortunately I can't answer your question on the time to arrive because I've never used the family camping field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large group of us are going, but someone's had to drop out and I'm a little confused about how the ticket barcode system works. Hi MoonBuggy Just wondered if you are selling the extra ticket you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBuggy Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 It's already sold, I'm afraid - I put it up on the official Shambala Facebook page and had it sorted pretty quickly, so you might want to take a look and see if there are any last minute ones going there?

Pinhead Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Heh - I was wearing mine that day as well, but didn't see any others. Cracking festival - really great crowd and impressive site with a lot of variety of venues and events and a real 'fiesta' vibe - sad that the season is over for me now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBface Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Had my eyes peeled for efestivals t shirts all weekend... Didn't spot either of you sadly! Really diverse festival. Loved the compactness of everything. And the fact it's 10 minutes away from home. Will definitely be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
