Guest - Broadstairs is a lovely festival - as is the town itself. Lots of children listen to the Hobby hos club every morning - and queue up to give Clarence money. ( It used to have the magnificent Old Trout band but there is another band now). It has lots of the local pubs involved. There is a variety of dancing and workshops. Many of the locals help with the festival.

Superstars like Tim Edy started there.

Its just £200 goes a long way to pay for bed and breakfast or petrol- and a lot of people do just that - without buying a season ticket. I was suggesting a modest priced season ticket that could perhaps include camping rights, ( you would expect to pay normal camping charges) and entry to the low cost things - workshops, dances etc. Usually there are a few concerts that I really want to go to but nothing grabed my fancy this year - so I just went down and saved the £200.

Other guest - you are right. Lack of information means you are even less likely to go. Broadstairs does very well if the weather is good - but needs lots of season ticket holders if the weather is bad to break even.
