Thread Name: Sidmouth 2005 - the verdict?
Subject: RE: Sidmouth 2005 - the verdict?
We stayed on the Bulverton camp from early Saturday morning, having driven through the night from Yorkshire, until Thursday morning.
During the short week we attended concerts at the Ham, heard some amazing Story Telling saw varied dancing, street entertainers and visited The Anchor, Newt, Bedford and Black Horse (Which I might add serves excellent value for money meals - and not all served with chips).
I'm sorry to admit that I too failed to knowingly meet with Lizzy and get my Hug :o( but overall we enjoyed our stay and found it to be what we expected - a folk festival.
Must congratulate all those that made it possible, and Alan White for the Campsite facilities.
We do have one minor criticism however (Actually two but they are linked) and that was the "noise" eminating from the Anchor Garden, which on occasions stretched the interpretation of FOLK to extremes, coupled with the constant flow of people into the middle bar through the back door made listening to some of the MBS's nigh on impossible.
Good luck and best wishes for Sidmouth 2005
