Haven't been to this Festival in years because of various issues . Main one was the parking being moved to way out of town for those not staying the entire weekend. /it was made very clear to us when, once we tried to use the school parking, we could not as we weren't camping. Another issue is the marginalisation of Folk Music that has made it easch year, less of a Folk Festival. The loud music eminating from every stage has been awful, and the lack of any organised music in the pubs is shocking. We ended up being THE entertainment in the Chimney Boy the last time we went. His booked folkies were stopped from performing because he had to have noise limiters! I can't imagine why Richard Bridge would even contemplate a 2017 visit after their campsite experience.
