Is anyone going this weekend? It’s my first ever music festival, and gather it’s a gentle introduction.

I haven't been for a few years but it's friendly enough.

Any tips? I’m looking forward to it, and am hoping the camping is close as I can’t walk too far!

Yes me! I’m going, first time. Taking several teenagers Grin have wanted to go for years and years. And dh is away so I thought I’d go with my mates and the kids. Hoping they will be lenient on campervan parking as we have a whopping huge gazebo thing to go between the two vans. Excited!

Yay Ken! Am glad I’m not the only newbie! Have a large tent so hope we have enough room for it. When are you arriving? I’m leaving really early Friday morning. Can’t wait to have a boogie!

I have a colourful joe brown underwater dress, and some pink and black tights that will clash horribly! Considering taking my irregular choice mermaid type shoes, but think they will get wrecked! How about you?

A hideous selection of multi coloured Lycra. And a feather hat!

Kenworthington · 14/08/2018 22:44

Those shoes will def get wrecked! I’ll be in dms. Or bloody wellies (hopefully not!). Can you not get down thurs? I don’t know if you’ll struggle to pitch a massive tent the day after everyone else has arrived?

I have work Thursday and am coming from London and picking someone up from Surrey on way. We’re leaving really early Friday so should beat some of the crowds, who have to work Friday.

But ken, my shoes are so pretty! But I think my purple dms may be a safer bet, and more comfy!

Ah well good luck then! We are literally travelling about 15 miles!

Not going but coming on to say how jealous I am.

Levellers!

I hope you get the full quota of Levi's as they've had some sickness.

Have fun is my only tip!

Glad you had a good time op, we go every year with the kids. We were all sad to leave this morning. Brilliant festival!

Well. That was AMAZING. Post festival blues this morning. Am wondering whether re-coating myself in glitter and drinking some wa wine out of a bag would help
