Sold it's soul
This event WAS a wonderful family event, with a laid back vibe and a great layout.
This year the organisers made a HUGE mistake in putting profit before all else and as a result it suffered hugely.
The layout was poor with family camping having not enough loo's and having to walk kids up and down a steep slope.
There were sound clashes between stages, as they were placed too close together and the charity food tents were in the shadow of expensive food providers.
The children's area was a disgrace, squashed in to a tiny area, with no performance times advertised. (Although the people running this area were fabulous).
Very Sad, we will not be back next year.

Great performances horrible security
My daughter enjoyed the event and bands but was treated appallingly by Vespasian security who were rude aggressive and obnoxious plus inappropriate when she was sniffed by a drug dog. They would not believe she had no drugs, were rough, aggressive telling her not to cry because she's an adult (17) and at a festival. Threatening police car to drive her home...no drugs of course but guilty until proven innocent, don't use them again
