ian the worm Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Sorry you’re not going Neil. Me, daughter two, her friend, my girlfriend, several other friends and a growing number of friends of friends all camping together. The app times are out, but Clashfinder looks iffy coz Sunday is currently empty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 I’m there, with 2 others. Really looking forward to it, last year was my first and I had a fantastic time. Enjoying exploring the line up and discovering hitherto unknown acts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt on a Stick Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 I have been once, way way back, and would definitely go again. I hadn't actually thought about going in the first place. I went because I won tickets via a Big Issue competition, which I had entered. It was a magical , warm and sunny weekend. I think I'd appreciate the variety of music more now, than back then though.

Alvoram Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) We're going to Kendal Calling, hadn't really considered WOMAD, was a tossup between Kendal and Camp Bestival again (though Dorset this time.) Will have to look at WOMAD next year considering all of the glowing recommendations here. Anyway, is there a Kendal Calling Roll Call? That part of the forums is dead, unless you have tickets to sell. 🙈🤣 Edited July 20, 2023 by Alvoram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion it’s the 2nd best festival in the country, very similar to Glastonbury only about 160,00 people less 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still not, unless you spend all your time at Glastonbury in the Kidz Field. I'll be the one to say I didn't much rate WOMAD when I went in 2019. Working it with Oxfam, I found the punters to be the most entitled I've encountered and by a huge distance - far, far moreso than you'd get at Latitude and Wilderness which is where you'd expect it a bit. The Main Stage area felt like a creche at times - even during headliners which made it difficult to focus on the acts. Luckily there's better festivals out there.
