Comments on Chippenham Festival 2003?

I went,danced, played, sang, ate, drank, met lots of nice people and had a really great time.

Weather was dampish - but tolerable. Narrower range of entertainment than Sidmouth - but then, who who else has that much? Fish and chips not as good as Whitby - but Cornish pasties far better. some excellent real ales at reasonable prices (for Southern England.)

Highlights?

Excellent programme of concerts (had to miss some favourite performers because of other commitments, but those I did hear were all first-rate)

Lots of good street dancing to watch

Great crack in the Old Road Tavern (particularly the French music & dance session in the barn on Sunday night).

Super late ceilidh with Heckety and Gordon Potts

Wonderfully anarchic late-night singaround/session in the campsite ablutions block

Would recommend it to anyone as a first class festival.


Wassail!
