Looks very good, but £100 per adult plus £20 camping makes it pretty expensive for a family.

Lots of excellent acts though. If I was down that way, I would go and do a a couple of days.

You pay for what you get I guess.

I'm just thinking of the Friday at £30. I can sleep in the car.

This is the 'summer' off-shoot of Fareham Easter Festival - Originally Gosport Easter Festival

The summer festival started oot at Eastleigh then moved to Wickham, and now to Stokes Bay, near Gosport.

Peter Chegwyn aalwez puts on a forst class festival - Aah should knaah, aah wez MC at Fareham for 13 years until my age, forgetfulness etc made me SNLR - Alistair Russell does the biz at Easter now.

£100 might seem a bit steep steep but you're a kite-flight from Portsmouth, Southampton and a host of other places if there isn't enough festival and History aroond Strokes Bay and Gosport - But wi that line-up yez should be well fettled.

Anyone who knows the area will know it's a great site, lovely unspoilt seafront setting for a Festival.

The line-up looks sensational - I see they've recently added Roy Bailey & Tony Benn, also Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill.

Geordie-Peorgie seems to know the organisers and says they always put on a good event. I trust him and will be buying my tickets next week.
