Homer Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Two tickets to Farmfest in Bruton in Somerset (which is sold out) going for cost price (or offers) if anyone fancies it. Two of my mates' other halves have decided they can't be arsed. It's next Friday and Saturday. https://farmfestival.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebeedoobee Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Not looking good at Standon Calling Unfortunately due to flooding we will no longer be able to proceed with the festival. If you can safely leave the site this evening please do so as soon as possible. We are working on getting everyone off site as safely and quickly as possible. Please bear with us as we are experiencing considerable delays exiting the car parks.. Please do not attempt to drive if you are intoxicated. If you are unable to leave site safely (for example if you are intoxicated, your lift cannot get to you or you can’t get to your public transport this evening) please head to the Campsite Office in the Village Green (or reception if you are in boutique or Lavish Lands) where we will be providing details on the provisions we will be making for you. In the meantime please stay as warm, hydrated and dry as possible. We will post the latest updates straight to the Campsite Office as well as on twitter and our web page.

Hard to believe that this is in the same week that had a severe heat weather warning. There’ll be people at that festival that are stranded without their tents due to floods but still have sunburn from Wednesday and Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapple12345 Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 What a weekend at Latitude, it felt euphoric to be back doing one of my favourite things that I've missed so much. Credit to the organisers for putting together such an amazing event with so much on under the most difficult circumstances. It definitely felt odd being around people again but after a while it felt perfectly normal and everyone was very respectful of others wishes and it did feel relaxed too. I hope everyone going to other festivals over the summer has the best time, it's very very good to be back 😁 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
