"It is fabulous if you enjoy live music in a relaxed atmosphere... a wide range of groups performing. Good food and drink. Family friendly. And it’s soooo easy to get to! "
"A total win for localism"
"What a totally amazing little find this was! Music from around the world, in a field, great sound system, local beers, safe place for kids to make friends and explore, no trashy waste-of-money stalls, delicious food. Amazing!"
"From 6 to 40-something year olds, everyone in our group had a wonderful time at this fantastic, quality, friendly festival.
Roll on next year"
