Thread Name: Favourite Festival and Why?
Subject: RE: Favourite Festival and Why?
Dartmoor for it's lovely cosy atmosphere and the friendliness of the locals. It's like a village fete with a folk music influence. I love the clog and the broom dance on the dray (trailer)and I love the stream behind my trailer. The duck race is a scream!

Sidmouth because I can settle in for a whole weeks work and make a proper job of it. I enjoy going to work on the bus.

Upton on Severn Jazz festival for the sheer professionalism of the performers. Hearing the pianos being tuned early in the morning and for the fireworks in the middle of the night when all have gone to bed! Ok lads I won't let on!

The Battle Tewkesbury for the fun and frolics after the public have gone home. And the German drum band Schelmech (there's an open mic this year)   

The battle of Blore Heath for the wonderful food and friendliness of the hosts.
