The original campsite - down by the Leisure Centre (Sands) was developed by Kirklees and precluded the festival from using it. Go and look. Security and access was impossible...a detail too far for this message board....sorry to mislead you.

When Holmfirther ran his festival in competition (or as an alternative whichever you prefer) there was no camping provided for his alternative festival. I know this, I spent a lot of time trying to explain that the site on the Sands was for season ticket holders to the "other" (not alternative) festival!!
