I would usually go to Cleethorpes over bank holiday weekend, sadly it's a little out of my price range with not enough people on that I want to see, so I'm considering doing Chester instead!
Any thoughts?
Is it any good and if I go can I expect to see any other 'catters there?!!

Chester is brilliant.

I have been 3 or 4 times and always enjoyed the atmosphere. It has a good mixture of venues and the main pub ( called the Morris Dancer if I remember correctly is big and rambling and full of real people so you get varied companies to suit your own tastes.


It has always had good kids entertainment, which has the bonus of keeping the kids out from under the adults feet and the bill this year looks excellent.

That was me on the 17th.
Started getting the food and supplies ready. If you've never been it is a good un.

Cunting down the days now, I'll be on site from tomorrow helping to set up.

The fringe festival will commence from Thursday evening & many, including me, will be camping from then on until next Tuesday.

On Thursday,there'll be a session/ sinaround both on on site, and later at the Royal Oak down the hill, with the festival proper starting on Friday.

Hope to see lots mudcatters there!

Mr Happy should be more careful where he puts his fingers!!

He could of course make himself a silly ass! (see above)

I may make it to Chester! first time for many a year!!

Why does it always bucket it down at Spring Bank hols

A good festival well worth going too for the evening events alone.
always a good solid evenings entertainment in the main marquee starting around 7.00 and lasting until about 11.00

This year includes some good names as usual, inc. The Pozzies, Bernard Wrigley, Artisan, the Mrs Ackroyd band & Les Barker too name but a few.
Anyone in doubt, GO, it is a well run festival. I am just a folk listener, but really enjoy the line ups they put on.
