I want to go to Sidmouth from Thursday 29th July to Sun 1st August inclusive. I can't get accommodation anywhere, so thought I'd bite the bullet and buy a weekend season ticket to enable me to camp, but I've emailed the festival office and all weekend and day tickets are gone.

Any ideas?

Hello Lynne

You could apply to be a steward. I know the closing date is past but there are bound to be dropouts. Offer to go on the reserve team and you could get something different to do every day yet still have plenty of time to get to events and sessions.

Good luck!

Warning about steward applications!
I applied one month before the cut off date last year, when I got the information the festival had been going on for two days (although I'm inclined to blame the post office)
I HOPE I'll have better luck this year.

Dear Andy

I even tried the 'wedding cake hotel' you mentioned, but no single rooms, only double ones at £98 per night!

Andy - I have got the offer of someone's hotel room floor, but I'm too old to be trying to dodge hotel staff. I have taken the garden option. I didn't need to be asked twice!

See you there, if not before.

I shall be there. Steve and I will be at a camp site at Kings Down Tail. They run a festival bus from there. Great fun, sessions on the bus on the way back to the tent. Nice quiet camp site and good showers.

Having an offspring 6ft 4inches tall means we have to buy large cars, I can sleep in them quite comfortably. I have done this since needing to use a CPAP machine - it blows air into my nose to keep my airway open - without it I would stop breathing many times a night and there was danger of not starting again. I use a box plugged into the cigar lighter to power it, and so far it has worked perfectly. I drive the car a little way each day so as to charge the battery. Somehow I always find the same spots vacant every time I visit the festival and no one has ever bothered me.

Having been to Sidmouth all these years I feel both at home there, but liberated from my normal behaviour. I cook meals in the park, eat lobster on the seafront cracking it with a handy rock - I do wash it first - the rock not the seafront, and I probably sing slightly ruder songs. I would really miss it if it stopped.

Thanks Kitty,

Yes Brian does need accomodation. Can anyone help please - he's just had major surgery and needs a place he can easily get back to for a rest as required - either in town or out at say Woolbrook, being on the festival bus route. Ta .
