This week Thursday into Friday looks quite wet which will not help however after than signs are that it will dry and in the day will be quite abit of sun shine which will help to dry it out - there wuill be some rain but apart from Saturday PM not much. Actual festival weather till far too early to tell but before that, a fair to good chance of the ground having good drying weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurosagi Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 I'm a first timer for Bearded Theory this year. How well has the site held up in the past if the weather's been a little unkind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place where is might get worse, unless they have sorted it which they might, is a small area in the Woodland. Walking boots and wellies re always advised though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasure - it is of course lots of guesses but lots will also be right as based on last year but always buy the programme when you get there for totally accurate set times. This year has been harder to guess cos Meadow has one more act a day and CODA is all new. Welcome to the single best festival there is - just realise you will be back next year 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurosagi Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Wanted to come for years, but it's taken me this long (and buying a little campervan) to persuade my other half to 'brave' a festival in May. Presumably a good choice of veggie food on site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small but lovely site, take your own booze (but great bars), fab music...best of all once of the friendliest festival crowds you could hope for. You're in for an amazing weekend. Can get a bit parky at night though so bang in an extra quilt! Edited Tuesday at 08:51 PM by Flaminglippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Interesting Posted Wednesday at 08:08 AM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 08:08 AM I am getting more info all the time for the Clashfinder and will keep updating it - I changed a lot early yesterday morning after getting some info. This year I am arriving Wednesday so the last updates will be done either last thing Tuesday night or early Weds am before we leave. If I get anything after that it will not be added cos I am offline as soon as I arrive.............................. As always, buy the programme anyway - I do and even did last year despite knowing what I had on the clashfinder was 100% correct. https://clashfinder.com/s/beardedtheory2024 1 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some friends normally do. But ( assuming it's the SAME volunteer slots) they'd changed the deposit from 50 quid to full ticket price and they could no longer afford to do it. Might be why some are appearing this late, they certainly HAD been planning to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds harsh - especially for people with a past history of volunteering and turning up for shifts - could understand for first timers.

The site is small but as the crow flies as soon as you enter Walton Woods (the main camping area) there is the quiestest as that is farther away than other areas. You will still hear music so bring earplugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose an area top left, furthest away from the arena and a lot less foot traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted Thursday at 03:04 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:04 PM Is anyone else feeling slightly panicked about packing? I'm starting to think "what the hell do I take?". This despite the fact that I've done this and other festivals a number of times and have a fully populated spreadsheet of items I took to previous festivals. I think it's partly because I'm away this weekend so will be packing in full on Monday after work. And breathe, everything will be fine.
