The Big Festival - with Jamie Oliver and Alex James <swoons>

[chicaguapa]

Has anyone seen this? I was tempted to camp but it's only for tents and campervans. My folding camper apparently isn't cool enough. But it seemed like it could be good just for the day. And hopefully the chance to meet the lovely clever Alex James.

Went last year when it was run by Big Wheel Productions but they went bust owing lots of money.

I did speak to Alex as he was walking around seemed pleasant. Saw some other famous people too.

I took the caravan last year which worked very well as it was slightly windy and chilly but see us non-trendy ones arent allowed think they are trying too hard to get the kitsch VW crowd in. No elec hook up so no full fridge.

Expensive!!!! worked out about £600 for weekend for the four of us - was annoyed that there wasnt any 'farmers markets' and hence had to buy our food made up which added up a hell of a lot and there werent child portions so had to buy 4 adult meals. There werent enough showers either.

It was lovely as it didnt attract the foul mouthed larger louts either. Lots of child friendly stuff but again chargeable and queues on some stuff not fair for the little ones and missed out on a few shows.

Enjoyed it a lot but because caravans no allowed wont be joining in again. There is a site close up so you could try that but may be booked up.
