Copperface Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Remarkably quiet here considering we're only two months away from this? Anyway. Firstly, if anyone is looking to go to Beardy from North East of the venue and struggling for transport I'm travelling down solo on the Thursday returning on the Monday coming down the M1 from way, way North. Would be able to deviate off and give a lift to anyone struggling to get there and back. Loads of room in a large car so no problems there. Did this for another efester last year to Latitude so I'm not going to murder you. Secondly I'm meeting a friend there who'll be in a campervan, and I intend to park my car up in the car park then wander over with my stuff and pitch my tent next to his van. Normally do this at EotR and other festivals. Is it permitted at Beardy? Also, how far is it from the car parks to the van fields? Not seen a current map layout yet. Thanks for any advice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as long as you and him both fit within his allocated (and marked out) 7mx7m pitch. Doubt the layout will have changed much - certainly not in terms of Car Park and Live In locations - It's a decent walk by Bearded standards (through the campsite, skirt around the edge of the Arena), but not huge compared to other festivals. Maybe 10 minutes at the nearest points, up to a maximum of probably about 25 depending on where you're each parked up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will travel light and get him to bring all the important heavy stuff in his van then 👍. Found an old map and the van fields look diametrically opposed to general car parking which is a pain.

And yeah its been quiet on here, not long now though and very excited for this! Off to see Placebo on Thursday in London at the album launch show and after years of hassling Rich to book them, this year is the year! 😄 We should attempt another efest meet (usually not very successful) on the Thursday!

Placebo were fantastic in the tent at Latitude in 2019(?), really good sound and note perfect - looking forward to them, the Lips and Shame plus a load of others.

bertieb73 Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 I for one am getting exited now as the countdown gets closer. Attended a few in the early days but not been to one since 2014. Be different for me as will have my 8 year old son in tow. His first festival and can't think of a better introduction due to the kid friendly nature of it. My first time at this venue so can't wait to see the layout and only heard good things about the Woodland stage from my sister who has attended every year it's been held. Think it was about 2009 I attended an unofficial efestivals meet up and was one of the strangest experiences of my life involving lots of dope and people just staring into space! Another clear memory was being in a Portaloo when the Tornado hit many years ago thinking someone was trying to push it over...Fortunately, it stayed upright... See you in a field in Derbyshire.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventbirite tickets emailed today Gigantic tickets will be on your order/account to download All so easy. BD last year was cos they only had 4-6 weeks notice that the festival was on at all so anything that could go wrong did. They are normally so much better.

I had the added bonus of going into the account to buy a car parking pass and realising that I'd forgotten that I'd already paid for one all those years ago.

PiltonPorking Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Hi, If anyone is interested there is a camper van ticket and face value (no fees) adult weekend ticket available here: https://tixel.com/u/8456247 Edited March 30, 2022 by PiltonPorking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaminglippy Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Even at full price think Bearded is great value for money in terms of line up, being able to take own booze in etc. I tend to only drink my own booze at the campsite...with the great range of ale on at Bearded last thing I want to be doing is drinking warm supermarket beer out of a can. Genuinely cannot wait..such a great weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
