I think this is a really positive suggestion. In fact I shall be bringing it to the attention of certain festival organisers of my acquaintance. There are certainly no shortage of pubs in Bromyard so maybe this would be a way to go in future festivals. I think you should contact the relevant people and make this kind of positive suggestion - the trouble with this discussion site is that it is not always the best place to air views when you want people to change things.
