I missed out last year and one of my dad’s favourite bands played. I asked a load of people here to raise a glass for him as he sadly died a couple of years ago during a particular song and had a lovely video a friend filmed for me of some people raising glasses to him. I’m hoping to get back to the farm one year to plant something for him there (apparently there’s a place in the green fields that lets you do it)
Yea, not sure why it gets a negative press. I know people may just want tents with bands, but I like it. Very unique to have a Pier in a field and no other festival as something like this. The little band area is great, love the feel of a pier with sticks of rock and nowt like being a little blasted and playing pinball.
Arcadia isn’t by the other stage anymore, it’s up by the park in its own field. A lot of the great food stalls have gone, Ghandis flip flop was a personal fave but I couldn’t find it last time I went. The camping has changed a bit and some of the public camping is how hospitality and staff
There's a lot more cokeheads these days than I remember from the past, or at least there's a lot more people blatantly shovelling gear up their hooters...
They regularly come back up for sale, just keep an eye and hopefully you will get one (for example, I got a 2 man scout something like 3 weeks before the festival gates opened)
