The Park stage sign

[Troop Dogg]

Boring topic I know, but just noticed on bbc2 highlights The Park sign above the stage is missing for the early Park slots. Anyone got anything else equally boring to add?

The plastic bit on your shoelace is called an aglet.

The entrance to The Park was also different  this year.

There are usually these wooden flowers, about 5 foot high, dotted around as you walk in.

The lock-up by the Woods was the other side of the path.

I think the entrance is different every year and that this year's being a bit less elaborate was a money thing.

I remember them being there for quite a few festivals, maybe they just wanted a change or didn't think they helped during busy periods.

Was the sand sculpture still there that changes a little each day?

The best one was I've seen over one festival was the sleeping woman who slowly lost her skin, then muscles etc, like one big sand autopsy.

Yep - people working on it each day. Or at least, they were on Friday and Saturday when I saw them. By Sunday afternoon they’d removed the fencing around it and kids were playing on it.

Were kids meant to be playing on it? Lol.

What was the theme this year anyway?

At that point I think it was fine - they literally removed all the fencing and there was just a pile of sand. It didn’t even look like they’d sculpted anything that day.

 

No idea on theme, I only saw it when they’d just started work each day.

Phineas and Ferb had a banger about this.

Yes it’s called sandalism and every year they create something and then it gets destroyed.

That's it. I had the word Sandometry in my head, but Sandalism is much better 😄

Presumably top right of the Park Stage was meant to say "PEACE NOW" but it definitely looked more like "PEACE NONCE"

Getting itself confused with the John Peel Stage

The dragons on the bottom entrance had gone (I didn't go in 19 so might have changed then?)

The wooden flowers at the same entrance also gone but tbf prob for the best as it bloody hurt if you walked into one by accident!

Side entrance by G On Sea seemed to be the most welcoming entrance - Park signage etc where as I didn't even see a sign at bottom entrance?

That’s the one thing they didn’t want to happen.

For sure!  Imagine the carnage if they'd been up this year, dead wooden flowers everywhere!
