Good Points
Clean, friendly, compact and safe.
Bad Points
Upfront cost of ticket, but I would still say it was value for money.
General Comments
The V - Stafford festival was my first festival in a long time, and boy was it a good one (the 10 year anniversary in 2005). It was easy to get to, and the parking was simple, although a bit far from the campsite, and I would recommend some sort of trolley to transport tents etc.
Our campsite was directly in front of the main stage which proved more than useful when we needed to use the toilets. The main arena was extensive, but the design made it feel very compact safe and cosy.
The bands were all good crowd pleasers, but it was the atmosphere that shone through.
I would highly recommend it, and when I go this year I will be taking my kids!
