We’ve bought a couple of folding camp chairs for the field but we don’t intend to lug them through our 12 days of Scottish travels after the festival. If anyone would like a pair of “only used 4 days” chairs let me know and we can meet up Sunday…..

Also we are coming into Banbury by train mid-morning  to early afternoon on Wednesday if anyone else is going through Banbury around then and would like to share taxi costs into Cropredy let me know.

It’s hard to believe it’s only a few days away….we’ve booked airfare and hotel accommodations three times now for this festival. I haven’t let myself get too excited thinking everything could be canceled again at the last minute. But we are definitely on the other side of the pond now and so looking forward to being back on the field!

It’ll be worth waiting for….
It’s proper hot here at the moment.
Good things come to those that wait….
I have a feeling that this will be a cropredy festival that lives long in the memory

Slightly worried by the weather forecast. It was almost that hot in 2003, but then we were nearly 20 years younger.
Anything official announced yet?

Tea I am taking chairs there.

As for the weather forecast on Countryfile this evening it forecast very SCORCHIO!

Stay safe everyone… we will have learned a few things from the last couple of weeks heatwave, so will be more prepared.

Flying back from a very hot and humid NYC on Tuesday, excited by trying the glamping option on Wednesday for the first time.  I’ll be drinking loads of water and wearing a nice shady hat. Could be a very sweaty festival, but bring it on!

We’re clamping too. This was originally planned as a 70th birthday celebration so we splurged. Now our fellow travelers have had other things crop up so it’s just 2 of us….. but since it’s been paid for since November 2019 it doesn’t feel that it’s cramping our budget.

Might see you on the glamping site then Bridgwit, we hope to be arriving approx 12.30 Wednesday.  Meeting chums from Bristol and London (we live near York) in the spirit of 'Gonna meet all our friends'.  Our plan is to spend the early afternoon sipping glasses of Pimms in the sun while nibbling on canapés and other tasty treats from our Fortnum and Mason hamper.  Splendid, just the ticket, good show, tally ho etc.

By way of contrast at my debut Cropredy (1983) I had no tent so spent my first Cropredy nights sleeping in the back of a Triumph Dolomite. Embarrassed

Will be more like 2-3pm for us, but our plan is very similar involving a bottle of Veuve Cliquot, deliberately kept for this specific occasion! We're hoping to try the Glamping food tent then a wander into the village.  After the horrendous weather back in 2019 I can hardly believe we're being blessed with sun!  Cheesy

I see it is now £5 per day to park in the Williamscott Rd car park. This is a a very late decision and , in my opinion, not a good one.
Over the years I've got a few people into attending the festival by saying "Come over for the day, sample the atmosphere, for free" meaning park at the top and get the vibe around the fringe and they have then bought tickets for the following years, cant do that this year !
   Are ticket sales down ? Otherwise surely this should have been announced more than 3 days before the start of the festival ?

£5 per day doesn't seem too much to ask though, given that it'll probably cost at least that for a single drink in any of the pubs!

I know but it's another £5 on top of everything else, how will they charge you if you arrive on Thursday and don't go back to your car until Sunday ?

What's the worst case scenario?  You pay £20 on Sunday and say "thanks very much"?

   This. And a small fortune to drive there at current fuel prices.

We hadn’t planned to. We’re going to play it by ear though and soak up the atmos  Tiara will just be amazing to be there! This feels like a big, thick line being drawn under the last 2.5 years!
