Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it the fringe that kept Beverley going a couple of years back? The same is now happening at Sidmouth in that the fringe is happening, along with concerts too. I just hope that Sidmouth doesn't forget in a couple of years time the same as Beverley seems to have. I really enjoyed Beverley last year by the way, as a ticket holder to boot, but I think festivals should remember that the fringe is an intrinsic part of it. I didn't go to every concert, and indulged in the fringe on a few occasions. Lay on enough camping for all, and of course charge for it, that way everybody is happy and all will promote the festival.
