We have been to this festival each year from it's beginning in Nantwich.
Great relaxed atmosphere. Good sized camping/caravanning site. Clean toilets, hot showers. Family orientated, the kids can go off learning to use a diabloe if they don't want to watch the Bands.
Good line-up of bands and artists. If you don't want to listen to the Bands on the main stage you can wander around and catch artists you have never heard of and be pleasantly surprised. Highlights this yeat for me were seeing Fish (Marillion) singing amongst the crowd and Cerys Mathews performing ballads accompanied by only an acoustic guitar. What an amazing powerful voice! Roll on next year.

It's clear that money has been made from this festival since 2007 and not a penny of this has gone to compensating the families who lost large sums of money in 2007 through no fault of their own. I don't think this is right and I would not buy a ticket or support this event, sorry, but I don't believe in customers being treated in this way, it shouldn't be allowed for organisers to call themselves a different company and dodge all responsibility.

The very first festival was held in Nantwich in 2006 and was a success but quite low key. The following year it was cancelled at short notice due to the adverse weather conditions. Tickets purchased were valid for the following year(2008)at a different venue (Catton Hall) which went ahead successfully. The venue was changed again the following year to Uttoxer Racecourse where it has been held for the past 3 years.
