Not sure if this is the right area but..........

We enjoy going to music festivals and have done so in tents, caravans, campervan and in 2014 our new acquisition.

Are there any other festival goers in MHF and if so which ones do you go to?

Recently; we have enjoyed-
Shrewsbury FF
Linton Blues
The Acoustic Festival
Lakefest

 

[Janine]

We're doing our Ukulele Workshops at The Acoustic Festival, Camperjam and hopefully Shrewsbury Folk Festival again next year.

Would like to do Cropredy too.

So that was you in the stall on the way in to the Acoustic festival last year? It did look fun.

Sidmouth in a tent.
Redcar in a caravan.
every Southwell since the 2nd one in a campervan.
Shepley in a campervan.
Cropredy must have been in a tent, but I don't remember the sleeping bit.
(It was a long time ago).

Hoping to do a couple next year in the new van.

Excellent....another potential one to the list!

Currently we are still tied to work so we try to do stuff within an hours drive for Friday/Sunday. Come 2015....wahey!

We also like the smaller events but would like to diversify from the folk/blues a little. Shani still has a hankering to do Glastonbury though!!

As you live in Bromsgrove do you not do any of the Upton music festivals cheers Rod

Bugjam at Santa Pod is a good gig, as apart from the music , you've got the race track to watch and also all the VW stuff.
Other scooter rallies there are also very good.
They are all also very cheap to attend.:thumb:

Well aware of the various Upton festivals. We've been unlucky not to be able to attend any but really fancy the Blues one in July. They are on our list!

We've been to the Maverick festival near Woodbridge in Suffolk, these last two years. Lovely small, friendly festival with fab Americana music. Basic camping in a field - lots of motorhomes.

Did go to the Twinwood Festival but seems to always to be a bit cold and windy. Again a lovely atmosphere and lots of motorhomes! and fab music - rock and swing. http://www.twinwoodevents.com/tickets.html

Maverick is also one we have looked at but it didn't fit with work. Love Americana!!

We've been to Twinwood for the Rhythm Festival but that is now defunct.

Glastonbury? Pah - try Glastonbudget! Tributes and locals, great beer tent and doesn't take itself at all seriously. Not to mention just £125 for the weekend for van+2...
