Never been to Sidmouth, much to my regret, but I can't resist making a couple of questions.

If you're running an event in England, isn't the probability of rain (not just the possibility) built into every damn thing?

Why does Sidmouth Folk Festival (which I understand is on the coast) have an address in Derbyshire (which I am well aware is not on the coast)? The distance might not be much to an Australian, but isn't it significant over there?
