The tent is supported by Sustrans, the UK's leading sustainable transport charity. Their vision is a world in which people can choose to travel in ways that benefit their health and the environment. Sustrans work with central and local government brings us closer to the transport issues that affect our daily lives, from the health and safety of travel choices to the practical function of the National Cycle Network. They are pioneers in giving youngsters safe and healthy travel options through their Safe Routes to Schools, their Active Travel team work with the health sector to encourage more walking and cycling and their Travel Smart pilot projects are already persuading people to look at alternative ways of getting from A to B. They also have a major public art project - Art and The Travelling Landscape - curating the UK's largest open-air art gallery with practical and decorative works on many of their routes.
There's bands playing in the tent from 1pm each day from the Thursday, with acts such as Overall competition winner Liz Green, as well as The Epstein (Acoustic Stage winner), The Grim Northern Social (John Peel category winner), Feluka (Jazz/World winner) and Dr Meaker (Dance category winner). From 2005 there are overall winners The Deadbeats as well as Epics new signing Scouting for Girls, and and from back in 2004 there's Hazah. This years runners up Venus Bogardus, The John E Vistic Experience, Cortina Deluxx, Onions, Thirty Pounds of Bone, Haiki Loki, Smallwhitelight, and The 9000 all get to play as well as The South Wests Battle of The Bands winner Pinstripe and tent promoters Concrete Recording's own protégés Orphan Boy.
