Subject: RE: Anyone going to Cropredy 2008?
Cropredy is really good. i think the best place to sit is just in front of the sound tower. A bit of shade and also a waypoint to help you find your friends again after you have gone to the loos and got lost.

If you are camping then there are different field depending on whether you are going with kids. Some of the campsites have clean showers which are really good.

Food
Lots of nice stalls with a great choice of food. Leons is great if you like veggie food. On a morning the village hall normally does an amazing cooked breakfast which is really reasonable.

Retail opportunities
Lovely stalls with some nice colourful clothes, jewellry etc. (take lots of money)

Kids
There is entertainment for them at the top of the field.

Chairs are a must if you can carry them. THe queue to get in starts quite early each day but it depends on how close to the front you want to be as to whether you go in early.

This is such a friendly festival, last year we took our greyhound and the people around us were so kind, making sure that no one crushed him when they walked past.

Organisation is good getting people sorted into camping spots but you need to check what time the campsites open. Be prepared for a long queue to get in to camp!!!



I would make sure that you take lots of bottles of water with you as when it is hot you soon run out and the water is quite expensive. You also have to queue for ages in the village shop if you want stuff.

Hope this helps and enjoy it. Can't afford to go this year as I was just made redundant. Another other questions feel free to ask and I will try to answer them or private message me.
