I'm thinking of going to Burntwood this year but don't know anything about it. Has anyone any info or suggestions, especially on keeping a 10 year old and a 12 year old busy?

Never been but Baz Yates (one of the organisers) is alive to all the angles. Check the tone of the website - it should say it all. I have never been because I lived down the road near the triangle - not good memories. They have a ceilidh. And I may be in the area till 20th sooooooooooooo dancers watch-out

as they say:
Other attractions at this festival will include our Free Area, a place packed with things to see and do, including Workshops, Craft & charity stalls, Childrens entertainments, Dancers, Story-teller and a Beer Tent where sing a rounds will take place.

Been for the past four, an excellent little festival and VERY secure for young children.

Hi, did anyone go?

What was it like this year?

How were the Strawbs?

Excellent festival!! Well organised and lovely weather.
Acoustic Strawbs not to my taste, a bit too much like has-been rockers trying to use the Folk circuit to make a comeback, but a lot of others appeared to like them. no accounting for taste is there???
All in all an enjoyable, relaxing weekend!
