Hi "concerned"... we ran the Moor & Coast Festival for 13 years mostly on this May Bank Holiday weekend... When we finished the festival I changed the Whitby Spring Session to the end of May, and I got "flack" for being on the same weekend as Rydale... last year we couldn't do anything cos of the Queens Jubilee so we thought we would go back to our normal spot...

We do not class ourselves as a festival anyway... we are a session weekend... very similar to Filey... more of a folk club with camping... limited numbers of people...

Its about 27 miles from Whitby to Filey... (a similar distance to Rydale) so I dont think we will impact on each other... I hope not...!!

"Concerened" think postive !

If you get yourself accommodation in Scarborough you can visit two festivals in one weekend. A bonus me thinks.

Everyone else please note "Concerened" is spelt that way because thats the way the "guest" spelt it.

Think it would be better to be full of Moor & Coast breakfast and Fish and Chips rather than anything else.......

Oh yes it can, lowest temperature I have even encountered was Minus 26. Stanton St John just outside Oxford in the winter of 1981-2. I think a lower temperature has been registered in the UK since then
