Festivals '13

[Iain&Shani]

We have already got our Shrewsbury Folk Festival tickets for Aug BH. Thinking seriously about Linton Blues Festival 21/6 and looking for ideas for another couple.

What are your plans?

Did End Of The Road last year, mainly because Patti Smith & Alabama Shakes were in the line up. Not sure if I'll do it this year. Will probably go to Cambridge Folk Festival 26 - 28 July

Can't take time off on BH weekends so Shrewsbury is out for me.

Hurrah for festivals! Womad and End of the road tickets booked and looking at a little folk fest in Wales

 

[Iain&Shani]

EOTR is top of the list for when we don't have to worry about work in Septembers... clashes with start of term etc so we haven't tried it but some great line ups. Done Cambridge a few times but we are in France then.

Ideally withing 2 hours of Bromsgrove as we are tied to 5.30pm departures on a Friday.

Booked Linton and The Acoustic Festival of GB

Any ideas or suggestions for the Lake District area or Scotland in August?

There are loads of interactive listings on line. I was using this one last night......

It all depends what you want/like. There will be something in here whether it be a big or small event.

I have recently booked into the Hay Book Fest and Cheltenham Jazz Fest -- too late to book Madeline Peyroux though :cry:

Deer Shed - start of the summer hols. Small and brilliant for families - loads for kids to do.
In North Yorshire in farm land near a little lake - really pretty spot.
Saw a hired Cali last year but that was it on the cali front.

 

[Iain&Shani]

We added "Blues At The Fold" which is more a day event but offers overnight camping on the Saturday for those who might be too tired (p*ss*d) to drive. So we are up to 4 now.

I'm amazed you can still get tickets for Cambridge.... at one time they'd all gone within a week regularly!

Well I have confirmation by email, hopefully not an error :!:

 

[Iain&Shani]

Don't fret! I also had a look on line they are still selling! A few years ago it was hard work getting them.

Hi

I'm also booked for Dubs at the Hall... but actually live in Bury St Edmunds..... Will you camp in or near Bury for Abbey Fest, as to the best of my knowledge campsites are few and far between in these parts!!

 

[jeannie]

Isle of Wight with teenagers and lots of bottles of nice wine - for me that is!

[McMeefia]

Family friendly festivals or us, with 2 little 'uns in tow....
Wychwood festival, Cheltenham May/June and then Purbeck Folk festival near Swanage, August BH.
Fingers crossed we don't get stuck in the mud again this year....should have gone for 4WD!

Hi,

The nearest proper campsite is around 4 miles away http://www.thedellcaravanpark.co.uk/main/ , but Bury is a nice place, so I'm pretty sure you'll find a quiet roadside spot near to the Abbey Gardens.

If you struggle, PM me and I'll be happy to help!
