We went to the first one to see Donovan and enjoyed it very much, despite freezing, snowy weather. I do like the idea of everything being on site and the accommodation is excellent. However it seems that many of the 'teething problems' that we encountered still haven't been sorted out which, I suppose, is why we haven't been again.

Butlins do a lot of these weekends, presumably to rake in some money when the holiday camp is shut. I don't think they have many complaints from other users but I suppose the sound system matters more to folk acts.

When we went the cinema was open. We saw "Made in Dagenham" and it was one of the highlights of our festival!
