If you are sorry to see that the Towers lying Festival is no more, this one might interest you:

Late August,  a lot of good acts, although no indication of who's on when as yet

£15.05 fee every time you add someone for a general ticket (£210)

£35 per person for showers. They are not free at this festival.

£22.05 fee for a campervan (!), and the campervan pitch to add to that is £100!

So, if you want to go with a campervan on your own and have showers: £382.10

If you are not using a camper van, it is £25 on top of the general ticket to park (no where near your tent)

The same deal at Cropredy (he states the obvious) is £282

£35 pp for showers is totally disgraceful - they deserve to fail I'm afraid.

Maybe they hope to win the "smelliest festival " award?
£35 for showers is way OTT, IMHO

Just clarifying this £35 shower charge - this amount covers 1 person having a daily shower over the course of the event, surely ?

Basically, a 3 day shower pass for £35.

Or is it £35 per person, per shower, per day ? In which case, that's verging on criminal...

It looks like a £35 charge for the festival - still pretty bad IMHO

Can I share the shower with the missus for no extra cost?
Or your missus, for that matter.

The line up has been announced and is pretty good, maybe a bit Cropredy-lite.

"As much space as you want to set up a proper family camp with no restrictions and no desperate dashes for the best space" A bit of a dig at elsewhere? You still cannot park next to your "family camp" though.

I wish them luck and look forward to hearing from people who go, see the pictures and to see whether the cost is worth it. They may create a vibe that means it becomes more than the sum of its parts, like you know where :-)

Bear in mind Tier 2 Beardy tickets are only £175 and early bird prices were great. That is for 4 days as well. Is it fair to compare them?
