Cropredy or not here I come! Got my tickets today Really wanted to go to Farmer Phil's as well, but the line up at Cropredy won in the end, lots of good bands from my era. If anyone else is going we can try and arrive at the same time.

I'll probably go to this one if I know someone else who is going Would also love to do Farmer Phils too. Can't argue with the line up at Cropredy - Levellers and Peat Bog Faeries and more - should be fantastic! I want to see the Roving Crows this year too, but may be able to see them at the Cambridge Folk Festival or The Great Dorset Steam Fair.

I've started turning a very dark shade of green - something to do with the line-up I think.
Why is summer so short with too many good festivals to go to?

Yay! I have some friends in Banbury we are meeting up with at early o'clock, I'll let you know the details when I have them. I think there are other forum members going too, but not sure who.

I thought this was going to be a farming thread ! No festivals this year for me, as becoming more obsessed with finishing the van :drive:

Hope it's going OK. I found finishing off is the hardest part, but that's just me I think.
Just fingers crossed for good weather in the UK those 4 days as quite a lot of festivals going on!

Got the tickets today! Hurray!! It is expensive £150 inc camping but it's the Levs, 10cc, and the Peat Bog Faeries + many more. If you want to come, check the website to see if they have tickets: www.fairportconvention.com/cropredy.php

Just been reading through their blurb, and really getting excited now!! Previously I thought I read that only one gas cylinder was allowed, and no generators, but now I cant find that info, so maybe I'm confused with various other festivals I've read up on?? I did read that gas BBQ's were allowed (but NOT charcoal ones). That's pretty cool, only I don't have one

I've got two gas cylinders. One is hidden away in the depths of the van so I don't think they will be able to enforce any rules or be that interested in the workings of my van hopefully! I don't have a gas BBQ either

Also can't see it on the letter that came with the camping pass, so will pop the genny back in

I'll check the letter there's nothing on the website apart from it says no charcoal BBQs, and presumably no firepits either. Can't see anything about genny or cylinders, or own alcohol, glass , bottles in main arena... they usually have rules about that too.
Forecast looks OK'ish. 22 degrees. Sunny with cloudy intervals.

Hmmph! I could have got a free ticket to this but I just can't afford the time away

We can always make use of freebies if they are transferable, or even if strictly they aren't

They even said the boy scouts do a good job picking up the empty bottles!! Hopefully most people will take responsibility for their own litter, but nice to know it's covered
