What festival are you talking about and why put it in this thread!!!

'White Horse' and its predecessor 'Stamford in the Vale' are/were the friendliest small festivals going.

We'll be there, as usual. Getting excited.

(Still feel that I've been had but then - t'was ever so!)

Your comments about walking reminds me of the second "Stanford in the Vale", or, possibly, third, when I was stewarding. In those days there was an official walk in the magnificent Vale of White Horse.
I found myself, map in hand, leading said walk. The only trouble was I did not know the area at all! Nevertheless we managed it without mishap.
I seem to remember that you had great confidence in me, or to put it another way, said, "Get on with it, there is no-one else!"
Happy days!

Lovely festival - but you'd need to be a bit of an athlete to walk from the campsite to the village hall in 6 minutes.

Dave,

It wasn't an attack on Grove, just an explanation that the village has grown over the years. I realise that a healthy man, such as yourself, wouldn't regard it as walking!
In my defence, the 5-6min walk is repeated 6 times or more, over the weekend, but I am very happy to walk it without a lift.

Howard.

There is plenty of walking involved! ???????????????
The longest walk is 6 mins. & we do provide transport in both directions for those who need a lift.

Sorry:-In reference to the above, it was a smallish village, it is now a large one.

This is a small friendly festival with a nominal charge of £25.
Nevertheless a few people make a day visit to the pubs on Saturday and lunchtime Sunday for free, as for any pub.
There are small charges for day visits to the various events.
I would really recommend the complete weekend, however, but bear in mind, this is a small festival in a small village, but none the worse for that.

"Will there be another "as long as its not folk' session - just great fun last year and I promise to do my 'run of shame' even if its raining".

The final events are being put in ink tonight.
They will include a tribute to Kieth Marsden, something to do with "silver" as this is our 25th. 3 x meet the artist,we have a pretty full prog. + workshops, concert, ceilidh, & off course plenty of singarounds & music sessions, + morris & belly dancing, but we'll take a look & see if time & space will allow.
