Browsing through the threads here and on other messageboards there seem to be many praising the smaller folk festivals and quite a few criticising the bigger festivals like Cambridge for being too commercial, too congested and somewhat uncaring about their audiences. Now that Sidmouth is a shadow of its former self I wonder whether the bigger festivals have had their day and folkies are looking to the smaller festivals for their enjoyment. What do others think and which festivals do you think offer the best (and worst) festival experiences and value for money?
