So the hotel next door is hosting an all-weekend outdoor house music festival…

[Cotherstone]

If anyone is in this town they’re going to recognise this!

But bloody hell. We moved into a house built on part of the hotel land. It’s right in the centre of a market town. The hotel hosts weddings on a weekend, I quite like falling asleep to cheesy wedding disco music. We knew there would be some noise from being in town and next to a wedding hotel. However, two hours ago the all-weekend house music festival started and our windows are actually rattling with the bass. I could actually be next to the stage and I don’t think it could be any louder.

I maybe wouldn’t mind so much if they played something I recognised…

So, bar getting blotto (possibly not good with kids) how do we get through this weekend?!

Go out or join them?

Go out for the day?

Dig out your glo sticks and whistle and join in from the comfort of your own home / garden

Do you have any E's?

Ah, for the good old days 😅

No car today so we can’t go out, sadly (and there’s nowhere in town you can’t hear this). Debating going a politely asking the hotel manager lately why we seem to have stopped being told these events are happening - I think we were supposed to be, so that we have plenty of warning and can go away for the night if we want to.

OMG sounds like my idea of hell as I'm really not a fan of house music, it just leaves me feeling all on edge with not a hope in hells chance of relaxing.

I wouldn't mind so much if it was a different style of music. In fact we live within earshot of an outdoor venue (if the wind is in the right direction) that often hosts events that have music all evening and we often play "guess the song from the intro"

No it's inreasonable. Remember spending a Christmas in

Posted too soon. Remember a Christmas in Sligo where they kept music on a loop. Christmas night/esrly hours Boxing morning guests were noisy. A few of us had breakfast and one chap said did we have to keep listening to this rubbish. The manager asked if he was complaining and 20 people said yes. He said thank God for that when he switched it off.

Yes, I was just chatting to a neighbour and they were saying the same thing, if it was decent music it wouldn’t be so bad!

I feel less like a misery guts now because it seems to have quietened down, possibly half the town has complained…

Ahh I was going to ask when and where? For a friend 🙄, but realise it's now lol.

What a bloody weird place to choose for a house music festival. It looks so…tranquil.

Is it a charity festival?

@Herejustforthisone I'm too nosey too and had to go look it up.

What a strange choice of place for this, how the heck did they get a license for it?

Shame it's sold out @Cotherstone no fun for you.

Hotels hold events, it shouldn't be a surprise. Sorry if this sounds harsh but it's like the complaining I get at work when we host weddings (including the reception) - we are a church! If you move next to a venue then there will be noise

Oh, I have no problem with their usual events, and like I said, we moved here knowing full well there would be plenty of events going on. The weddings are ace and I love falling asleep listening to their last dance songs (it is ALWAYS New York, New York, or Sweet Caroline).

But this is just the loudest, randomest festival to hold in a hotel in the middle of a sleepy market town town centre!

@TheCanyon exactly! We've had folk music festivals before, that felt pretty normal. This sounds like one of this Butlins weekenders 🤔

Most of us neighbours are just very annoyed there was no warning, I actually suspect that the hotel is supposed to warn local residents about events this big.
