Sorry - I didn't mean Paul Sartin's father, I meant his relation Bonny Sartin.

And to be positive Lizzie. You made some suggestions where a festival could be held. You want your own festival. Go for it.

So here is what you do. (I'd try and get some helpers around you it is not a one-person job).

Check the venues you thought of using. See who owns them. See if any are licensed for music already. See if there are likely to have any objections to applications for a TEN. See what they might cost. put that down as first item on your budget.

Now see if you can arrange camping or accommodation. A seaside resort like Torquay might have both. The Tourist Office might help you select a venue too if you sound professional.

Now you have a start.

Come back to me and we will go through the next stage when you have done that and got a possible venue.
