incident Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Yes, gates at at 1pm, and I think it's supposed to be quite strict on that. The first act on this year is at 6pm, so you've got plenty of time to get in and set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 First act is on about 4pm I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlei Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 11 hours ago, ollyrag said: Hello Beardo's Can I get some info please ? Can anyone advise at what time the car park will open (and entrace through wristband exchange if possible) Coming from a fair distance and want to time this right. Last year got into Car park about 10am and onto camp site before noon. Hearing that Car Park will not be open until 1pm this year - which seems very tight to get parked, unpacked, set up camp before the Pallet Stage opens. ALSO is there a link to stage times / clashfinder ? Completely admit that I am a bit lazy to trawl through 17 pages to get this Can anyone help ? Ta Mr. Rag This probably isn't accurate, but at least it's something to work from - https://clashfinder.com/s/bearded2018/ I think the stage times will only be available when you get there.

The Red Telephone Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Forecast has gone a bit downhill for the Friday now, unfortunately. Taking my 5 year-old for the first two days as his first festival experience! Hopefully it won’t turn into a deluge. Looking forward to some dance tent action on the Friday night (once child has departed) - Altern 8 usually does an Old Skool Rave set followed by Darren Emerson. Will probably watch Sleeper and The Coral with the boy in the evening. Looking forward to Mik Artistik/ FLC/ Sleaford Mods/ Robert Plant/ Dub Pistols/ Jimmy Cliff on the other days. Haven’t done as much investigative work on the undercard as I normally do for festivals. Any other tips? Not really a fan of punk, so anything other than this would be appreciated!

I based Thursday, in particular, purely on how many acts there were, and how long acts tend to play for. I have no insider knowledge at all, and did it just for fun. Please don't commit yourself to anything important off the back of it. That said, I think @Gnomicide found a tweet from the Bearded folk saying they were surprisingly accurate, but caveat emptor, and all that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either or neither could be right. The one with the showcase on shows it ending at 22.00 but the BT website says it ends at 23.00 Friday and Saturday. But we shall find out who, what, when etc whilst waiting in line for wristbands on Thursday Edited May 22, 2018 by Nobody Interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 This is the other Clashfinder, orientation is a bit odd but you can change that in settings... https://clashfinder.com/s/bearded2018/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cham08 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 The music started earlier last year for the 10th anniversary celebrations hence being able to get into the car parks earlier. The main stages start at 6pm and Something Else Tea Tent at 4pm so should be plenty of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I believe main stage kicks off about 4pm this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on the edge of the campervan field near where you cross over to the overspill campervan field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Interesting Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Late Thursday and Friday morning looking a bit damp. All the more reason to party late on Thursday and have a long sleep in on Friday. It will settle the dust nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
