We are currently unable to say how far, or in what way we will be affected, but PLEASE KEEP REFERRING to the website which will be updated with the latest information."

(today 14th Sept, the website carries only the above message)

A new campsite has been arranged.

It is on the other side of Otley from the usual campsite, on the river side of the A660 between Otley and the A65 junction. Here is a map http://tinyurl.com/3d45s9
The site will not have running water, so please bring plenty of drinking water and containers.

Nice to hear the Festival getting a mention on Look North tonight, even if it was just to say that the fest is on and alternative campsite arranged.

Good work everyone, just the sort of last minute stuff you could do without!

Keep an eye on the main Otley Fest thread too for more uptodate information.

See you all there!

Any chance of supplying a postcode for the camp site so it can be entered into my Sat/Nav?

Cheers

The postcode for the festival office is LS21 1EZ

I can't find a postcode for the campsite, but have put up a page with a map - you can't really miss the campsite, it's off the main Ilkley Road and will be signposted.

The link to the map page is here Otley Map

The bottom map has the route between the Festival Office and the Campsite.

The weather forecast looks good too! (as usual for Otley!)

Latest news on campsite - water and lavatories now arranged.

Thanks to Snozz for his improved map. The previous map had developed a spurious arrow thanks to Google, which you should ignore.
cheers,
Jim
