It was pretty shittily organised, and misadvertised to top it all off. They were banging on about how the food would be top notch (usual burgers, noodles, etc - granted some of it was organic...), there'd be a village fete atmosphere with brass band (there was no brass band), marrow competition (no marrow competition that I saw), etc. It was really just like any other festival, but with tug o'war. Sound was shit for every band that I saw (and heard similar stories about bands I didn't see), there were 8 people in total working behind the two bars, and the toilet queues were beyond a joke. I heard that the organiser's reasoning behind the bar problem was that they didn't expect people to be drinking a lot (music festival. hot summers day. umm...), but surely they can't apply that logic to the toilet situation. Sure, tickets were just over £20, but I think using the "At that price you can't compain" logic a little stupid. Pretty disappointing, all in all.
