I visited for the day on Saturday for the first time. What a lovely little village, and a beautiful day.
It's soooo Devon!
A lovely simple inexpensive festival, with the feeling of the village joining in with food and drink; not only in the pubs but in the Methodist church and the C of E church too. Both pubs had lots going on as well as concerts in both churches. This is a perfect weekend and so far as I could see, running with very few problems and no one complaining to me about anything. Oh someone did mention that the camp sites were full, but that's not a bad thing, it shows the little inexpensive festival is a winner.
We need more festivals like this, small, inexpensive and uncommercialised. So come on folk family (cos that's what we are) if you have a large back garden or a couple of fields, let's go for it. Back to our folk tradition roots.
Well done Pete and John, Long may you reign. Looking forward to bringing Loxley next year.
